Unable to modfiy an existing file

[Saravanan Manickanainar Dakshinamoorthy <saravana@artisan.com>]

Hi,

       Machine : SunOS 5.8 sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100
      emacs version : 21.3

       I am not able to modify an existing file which has write 
permission, but the
directory under which the file present has only read and execute permission.
I can modify that with vi editor.

       eg
            foo-dir <directory>   permisssion   r-xr-xr-x
                 |
                 foo <file>    permission rw-rw-rw-

Thanks,
saravanan
