Hi David Three things ... first you said $HOME/david/bin rather than $HOME/bin - did you mean the first one, in which case does ~david/david/bin exist as a directory. I suspect you meant the second though (i.e. ~david/bin), but worth checking what you have written as the path. Second, I've just tried it with kwrite deliberately typing $HOME/bin/TEST into the "Location:" part of the save window, and I get this error ... "The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write file:///home/neill/Desktop/$HOME/bin/TEST. Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available." which I guess is what you are seeing. Check what the dialog says at the "write file" bit and see if that path is what you wanted. If it isn't then I think you are using the dialog box incorrectly. Where, at the top of the dialog, it says something like /home/david/Desktop) change it to your bin directory (use the arrows on the side, or just type /home/david/bin in instead and press return which will take you to the bin directory), and then in the Location: part type just the name of the file. Kwrite combines whatever is in the top line with whatever you write in the second part, so you are probably not saving to where you think you are trying to save to. Their dialog message is a little misleading - they don't warn you that the directory path might not exist either, which I suspect is the problem. Third, cd to ~david/bin (or ~david/david/bin) and type touch test to create a test file inside that directory. Do you have permission to write? If you do then it is not permissions.
