Thanks for the replies. It's different than Windows so I have to remember the few unix command I ever used - mv cp mkdir pine (oops pine is for mail).

Map files are in the proper directory and work.

Welcome to Linux and file permissions.

System wide executables and their files are normally not accessible for writing by normal users.

You'll need to have 'root' permission to write those files. Use the 'sudo' command.

/usr/share/xastir/maps
I am not knowledgeable about Linux to be able to change the permissions.
Or should I?
