Easy One - Mass CHMODding?
So I copied all my files from Windows over to Arch, ready to go. But all the permissions need to be changed! If I do chmod +drwxrwxrwx /home/nathan/docs; that would just simply change the permissions of that folder! How do I change the permissions of that folder, and everything therein?

chmod -R is recursive.

Re: Easy One - Mass CHMODding?
Thank you. I noticed +rwx only gives the owner full permissions (755); I would like it for my programs to access the files as well (777). What would I write?

chmod -R 777 folder
and chmod a+rwx will work too,
a = All
u = Owner
g = Group
o = Other
ex. chmod a+rx-w is eq to chmod 555
