RO (READ_ONLY) *DM* -- Set read/write mode.
usage: ro [-on | -off]


FORMAT

  RO [-ON | -OFF]


  The RO command puts a pad into (-ON) and out of (-OFF) read-only mode.
  If no option is supplied, the current mode is toggled.  The pad must be
  in write mode (-OFF) in order for you to insert or delete anything.

  By default, CTRL/M invokes the RO command without options to toggle the
  current mode.

  An "R" appears in the window legend of a pad in read-only mode.   The
  "R" disappears in write mode.

  An edit pad which has been modified cannot be made read-only without first
  writing it out with the PW command.  Type HELP PW for details.
