Greeting,
in my old XEmacs days I was used to point the mouse somewhere into the
permission column of a "dired" buffer and then to toggle the permission
under the mouse by middle-clicking it. I have run "M-x apropos dired-"
and searched for "perm" in the resulting buffer, but didn't find any-
thing helpful :-(
Is this functionality really missing from Emacs?
Sincerely,
Rainer

That's available in wdired if you set
wdired-allow-to-change-permissions non-nil.
