To make this work on my Windows computer, I had to right-click on the
/lib/itools folder and choose the Properties selection from the menu.
Then, I had to chose the Security tab on the Properties dialog. I
selected the Group CREATOR OWNER and hit the Edit tab below the Group
selector and click the Allow box on the Full Control selection pop-up.
Then, I dragged the files from another location where I had saved them
into the appropriate directories. I got a dialog indicating I needed
Administrator privilege to move a file into the directory. I clicked OK,
and they were moved into the directories successfully.
I don't know if any or all of this is necessary. I just know I can't
save them into IDL-owned directories directly.
Cheers,
David
