Thank you, Marco.
Since the properties bar said "Shared with..." I figured I would edit that
properity with the "Sharing" tab. Well, there logic for you.
One other thing that I had to read a lot about (and still don't understand
fully) is the "inherited permissions." Even though I only asked for
permission to edit one file from a "standard user account" it changed the
permissions for EVERYTHING under my profile. I presme because of the
inherited permissions.
