   Is it LDOS or LS-DOS?  Anyway, I'm using v631J and what I want to do is   
   protect some specific files from fat finger purge mistakes.  I've read   
   the DOS help and printed manual for ATTRIB and PURGE but am not getting   
   the results I want.   
      
   I want to protect a single file with a read-only attrib, then when I run   
   purge on the disk (hard drive partition) and accidentally say yes to the   
   protected file, it will not purge.   
      
   I've run:   
      
   	attrib vc/cmd:4 (OWNER="SECRET",PROT=RE)   
      
   on the file I want to protect.  I have the disk MPW set as:   
      
   	attrib :4 (PW="BOSSMAN",MPW="PASSWORD")   
      
   as I learned from RTFMing that purge won't ask for a password with MPW   
   set to a default of PASSWORD.   
      
   So, when I run purge on :4 and enter the MPW, it goes ahead and purges   
   vm/cmd when I say yes.  What happened to the PROT=RE?   
      
   Regards,   
   Doug
