Syntax: SET DIRECTORY READONLY directory_spec add_remove Sets the indicated directory's read/write state. This command adds the directory or removes it from the list of read only directories. LSE does not look at a directory's file-system protection to determine whether or not it should be set to read- only. As such, if a file is read from a directory that is write-protected by the file system, it is not set to read-only. If you modify the buffer, LSE will attempt to write the file out and you will get an error message from the operating system.
