Please take a look at dirw.exe and hidden.exe.  The former is in
package /pc/ts/tsutil29.arc and the latter in /pc/ts/tsutlc16.arc. 
Dirw.exe shows (recursively if you wish) a directory list, including
hidden files.  Hidden.exe lists all hidden files on a device.  The
packages are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.3.

Yes, there is a chmod in picnix utilities, as far as I recall. 
There is also a programm called attr.exe, which I think is in xanadu
utilities, but im not quite sure that it wasn't in some other
utility package.  Take a look at the files in the /pc/pd2 directory
at chyde.uwasa.fi.
