export file permissions

[John Esak]

Mark is right.  We have been over this many times. I should have remembered.
Changing umask does not good if you change it go into ta prc and then issue
the filePro commands. No change whatever.  What we learned long ago was that
if you were to take extraordinary measures, then you could have umask play a
prt. For example:

   then: system "umask 0; >/tmp/newfile"

Will create a file following the umask. Otherwise, you get the regular "rw"
creation of the file. Like he said, EXPORT makes a -rw-rw-rw (666) file. 

Because of these differences, it is on wishlists somewhere that control over
permissions happen in future versions.
