I have noticed that files I create with Edit are not given the permissions
defined by my umask and the "file creation mask" of the Preferences
application.  Specifically, my umask is 022, and the "file creation mask" of
the Preferences application is set to rwxr-xr-x, so in both cases write
access should be given only to the owner (me).

When I create a file with vi in a Terminal window, the file is given the
proper permissions, i.e.  -rw-r--r--
But when I create a new file with Edit, it gets  -rw-rw-rw-
This is obviously not what I want.
Can someone explain this to me, and tell me how to fix it?
