In Get Info in the Mac OS X Finder you can change permissions. It's 
pretty nicely done, and works fine.

Until you try to "apply to enclosed items", the equivalent of chmod 
-R (or -r, or whatever. Case sensitivity rarely sticks in my brain.) 
This just plain fails to work for me. Time to break out the 
third-party utilities, or (sigh) the command line.
