Umm...even if she can see her .plan file, it doesn't mean other people can.
Here's what you do so that other people can see it:
 1. Save your picture in a file called ".plan"  Don't include the quotes.
 2. Type "chmod 711 ."  The dot is your root directory, and the 711 means that
    you can read, write and search your root directory, and other people (i.e.
    the "finger" program) can search it.  Finger needs to be able to search
    your directory in order to find your .plan file.
 3. Type "chmod 644 .plan"  This lets you read and write your .plan file, and
    allows other people to read it.  If you don't do this, they won't be able
    to see it when they finger you.
Note:  I _think_ that the above is correct; I'm by no means certain! :)
