I'm guessing there is no execute permission for you/your group.  chmod 755 might fix it

Hi Toby,

Unfortunately I cannot seem to do either.

"You either already have to be in the directory where the program you want
to run resides"
When I am in the directory with the sas program it still tries to access
the file from my home directory.

And when I tried:
"You have to specify the full path with the program name in your call to
sas" like you had with trying the command:
/Test/test2/bottle/bottle.sas

I got the message:
/Test/test2/bottle/bottle.sas: Permission denied

This directory is easily accessible for me to use Emacs and modify files,
etc.
