To set the execute bit of an existing file, you'd have to use
something like:
get shell("chmod +x" & yourfilename) # or maybe "a+x"
You can set the bits of a file you create with a MetaCard script using
the "umask" property. It works just like the "fileType" property on
the Mac: it sets the characteristics as the file is created.
