yes, my understanding is that the status what user is allowed should be implemented via file flags - thats their purpose - not via adding new layer of management above it. my real point here was different though - its adding unnecessary pain for people working on docs. the distinction seemed to be clear here - lyx i use is normally installed and i'm not allowed to edit help files when using help menu, while its editable in svn checkouts. i don't edit it so often but for Uwe this must be blessing. pavel
