Actually, overnight I thought of a different solution you could use - use a
"template file".

Although the help file omits this information, you could use
"win32security.GetFileSecurity()", and name a file that has the permissions
you wish to "copy".  This will give you a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR object.  Once
you have the object, you can even manipulate the contents - the only thing
missing from 124 was the ability to create a brand-new, empty
SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR - all the functionality to manipulate them is there....

Mark.
