I think I have it figured out now...at least I can get the program working. I found out that I can CHMOD something by going to the control panel and changing the permission to the numbers I needed. The instructions I have just said to chmod 777 log.txt
For a guy like me, how the heck am I suppose to know what that means? But I think I figured it out now. I don't have those warning things up above the program main screen anymore.
Thanks for your willingness to help.
