Thank you all, every explanation was very helpful.For the permissions issue, I found an explanation online that I just couldn't make sense of but Jim did a fantastic job.

Code:

File type: d== directory l== link
|
|
|
|
|
_
drwxrwxr-x
 ___   ___
  | ___ |
  |  |  |
  |  |  (World) other permissions  r,w,x, and -
  |  group permissions r,w,x, and -
  owner permissions: r == read, w== write, x ==execute  - == permission denied

So to confirm: In the code above from Jim's explanation, the "d" in "drwxrwxr-x" means "Directory", and if that line were instead "lrwxrwxr-x" the "l" would mean "Symbolic Link", and if that line were instead "-rwxrwxr-x" the "-" would mean "Permission Denied"?

J-PILOT(1)						      General Commands Manual							J-PILOT(1)

NAME

       jpilot - A palm pilot desktop for Linux/Unix

SYNOPSIS

       jpilot [-v] [-h] [-d] [-a] [-A] [-i] [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       J-Pilot	is  a  desktop organizer application for the palm pilot and other Palm OS devices.  It is similar in functionality to the one that
       3Com/Palm distributes.

OPTIONS

       -v     displays version and exits.

       -h     displays help and exits.

       -d     displays debug info to stdout.

       -a     ignores missed alarms since the last time program was run.

       -A     ignores all alarms, past and future.

       -i     makes jpilot iconify itself upon launch.

       -s     initiates a sync on the running jpilot instance.

	      If you have more than one jpilot running at the same time the sync may not work as expected since  nothing  is  done  to	support  a
	      multi-instance configuration.

ENVIRONMENT

       The PILOTPORT and PILOTRATE environment variables are used to specify which port to sync on and at what speed.

       If PILOTPORT is not set then it defaults to /dev/pilot.

BUGS

       See /usr/share/doc/jpilot/BUGS
