Additionally, if Sylvia is using Windows and NTFS -- her file(s) may
have ACLs set which (incorrectly) are flagging the file(s) as
executable. There's a way to edit the acl for files; I'm not a Windows
guru, so I'd have to hunt around for how to do it. I've done it before,
though, and haven't found my notes about it yet.
