Or if you have an interest, you can install the Cygnus tools and from
the command line do,
cd my_directory
find . ! -perm -0200 -print0 | xargs -0 chmod u+w
... which says, find everything under this subdirectory that doesn't
have write permission for the file owner, and turn on write permission
for the file owner on those files.
