depends on what you think that "writing" is.. if you want to distinguish
between creating and deleting, the answer should be no, i think. but if
you want to "write to" an entry (meaning you want to change some of its
attributes) thats a completely different thing. access handling can be
compared fairly straight forward to UNIX file permissions in this case..
if you have write access for the directory, you can add and delete all
files there.
but you can change the _content_ of a file (if the file permissions
allow it) also if you do not have write permissions to the directory.
what means you may modify the file, but not delete it.. (which is
possibly what you want)
