Hello,
I know it is bad form to answer your own post, but I wanted to tell you that I
figured out why the message "permission denied" came up. I was logged in with my user
name. To correct the problem I merely logged off and logged in as windows equivilant
to "root." (I hesitate to use that term with regard to Win98, but don't know what
else to call it.)
After I did that, all maintinence programs ran fine and I can now use the geometry
package (although I have only tested changing margins so far)
Thank you, everyone for your responces and extreme patience. I have learned a lot the
past two days. Maybe when I need to add things to my setup, it will be a little
easier.
