On Mar 5, at 11:34 AM, Bill Rising sought more insight:

If I do an 'ls -la' command in the terminal, many of the files look
like this when listed:

-rw-rw-rw-@  1 wrr  wheel  1152 Feb 25 13:40 abc.do
-rw-rw-rw-@  1 wrr  wheel  4050 Feb 25 13:40 def.do
-rw-rw-rw-@  1 wrr  wheel  6547 Feb 25 13:45 ghi.do

What does the pesky @ sign mean at the end of the file permissions?
The man pages give no insight.

It means the file has extended attributes. You'll also see a '+' there for extended security. The man page for chmod should give insight.
