umask [ value ]
Display the file creation mask. With value set
the file creation mask. value is given in octal,
and is XORed with the permissions of 666 for files
and 777 for directories to arrive at the permis-
sions for new files. Common values include 002,
giving complete access to the group, and read (and
directory search) access to others, or 022, giving
read (and directory search) but not write permis-
sion to the group and others.

That's correct. As far as I konw, you'll have to add execute bits manually.

Subject: RE: Setting correct umask
Check the umask settings in /etc/default/login. If it is uncommented,
you can comment it out and use only the ones in the .cshrc file -or- you
can set it the way you want it and remove the one from the .cshrc
file(s). C' Ya!

You CANNOT change your umask to create files with "7" on the permissions.
You MUST change the files explicitely to a "7" value yourself via command
line or script.
