Dear Dr Stephen,
The is what I have been doing so far:
sh: ./bet_vol: Permission denied
sh-3.2$ login
login: neuro
Password:
Last login: Fri Jul 25 17:54:30 on ttys000
[neuros-iMac-2:~] neuro% pwd
/Users/neuro
[neuros-iMac-2:~] neuro%
Why is it that permission is denied? I have already done the scripting in
emacs but when I try to run the script permission is denied. What does this
mean? Thanks!
