I created a new file on my desktop, named it hi-baraha.mim, and pasted
the contents of the above-mentioned webpage into it. I then tried to
copy it or drag it to /usr/share/m17n/, but I received an error message
at this point which states, 

"Error while copying to "/usr/share/m17n". You do not have permissions
to write to this folder."

How can I change the permissions in the m17n folder so it will allow me
to put the new file there? Or if not that, then what do I need to do to
make this work?

Also, the posting I tried to send to this ubuntu-in list yesterday,
bounced. Why is that?

All the best,
