Okay, now you can laugh if you want. The real cause is NTFS intersected w/my current ignorance. I've encountered this in the past, but never thought about it until a while ago. I had copied the command files fm another location while logged on as an ADMINISTRATOR to an NTFS logical drive, which means that the OWNER attribute went w/'em - I was SOL and didn't know it when I logged on as me, despite references to me, both self and external, as "Oz, the Great and Powerful" (I have the wave file, if anyone's interested).
So, my current quick-fix was to copy these files fm NTFS partition to FAT32 partition and, voila, eureka, I once again feel somewhat great and powerful, at least sufficiently so to do my work tomorrow AM.
