Thanks for your time, Mark S -- but the permissions seem ok (-rw- r-- r--) and I can edit and save with gedit. I can also save a changed file using firefox and epiphany's "save as" functions.
I just can't save from within TiddlyWiki (even from the copy I can make using a browser's "save as"). The version I've been using is 2.5.3. It occured to me that I ought to check the most recent one, so I've just gotten 2.6.0. I can't save in that either: I opened empty.html, added a tiddler, then tried to save. It refused (with the same message). Any other ideas? I have to admit that I'm stumped.
