[PLUG] Chmod Usage

[Clinton Ecker]

I am just wondering here.  FYI I've read the chmod Man
page and found it a little confusing.  

Now I know that there are two ways you can change permissions
(ie. Chmod a+rx file and chmod 755 <file>)

I use the "letters" format of chmod almost exclusivly and I know
that the numeric method has something to do with octal.  I am
just wondering how many people use the numeric vs. the letters 
Method of chmod'ing; And perhaps someone could try to explain 
the numeric method so its easier to understand?
