   *Access

   *Access changes the attributes of all objects matching the wildcard
   specification. These attributes control whether you can run, read
   from, write to and delete a file.

   Attributes are:

   L Lock object against deletion by any user
   W Write permission for you
   R Read permission for you
   / Separator between your permissions and the public‘s
   W Write permission for the public (on a network)
   R Read permission for the public (on a network)

   Syntax: *Access <object_spec> [<attributes>]
