Actually, that would give everyone read, write, and execute perms.
If you *only* wanted execute permissions, the you'd want this:
  chmod 0111 moneydance
If you wanted to *add* execute permissions on top of any existing
permissions, then you'd want this:
  chmod +x moneydance

Of course, this sort of accident is exactly why you later wrote...
