filepro and file permissions

  I am guessing that you are printing to a file or doing
an export....

  You can change the file permissions after you close it. After
a "close exportfilename" command, just do a

  System "chmod 666 /path/exportfilename"

   If you are printing to a file, you can do something similar
with PFPOSTPRINT.
