>From the file system's perspective the behavior is not wrong. As you said, the owner of a read-only file A is of course able to create a copy B of that file, write the changed content into B, make B read-only, make A writable and remove A. However, an editor should never do this automatically! It should ask if the user really wants to change the read-only file. Write-protecting my own files makes sense to prevent automatic / accidental changes of these files. Frank
