On the .sage files. Maybe you could try just doing chmod a+rwx -R .sage to make the permissions maximally permissive... as a test. > Thanks a ton; I need to keep the old accounts mid-semester because one > class is using it quite heavily and has old class notes on it that > would be very painful for them to upload again, but it would be really > nice for other classes to be able to access so much of the new > functionality - jsmath update, TinyMCE, the new plotting stuff, etc. You'll be able to do so.
