Subject: read only in Frame 6

What would cause one file in a book (FM6) to suddenly become read only, and,
more important, how do I change it back again to modifiable? I can't save
the file as anything modifiable. For any other file in the book, the File
menu presents a Save as option, but not this one. When I look at the
file's properties in Windows Explorer, Read-only is not checked. The
backup file is in the same anomalous state. Windows Explorer shows no
recovery or crash files. 
Possibly related information: Recently I got a FrameMaker must quit 
alert and FM died. The anomalous state of this one file occurred sometime
after that.

It is also possible to lock a file permanently.
- save as mif
- open the mif file in your text editor
- in the Document section: 
  - change DViewOnly No to DViewOnly Yes [Esc-F-l-k]
  - below this line, insert DViewOnlyNoOp 0xF00 [disable Esc-F-l-k]
- save the file in your text editor.
- for convenience, rename the file to *.fm (it cannot be unlocked via
Esc-F-l-k, so it cannot be saved as *.fm either, Framemaker won't mind)
To unlock the file, the above procedure has to be reversed.

Cheers,
Mike
