>>There's a file in the Download section by Hank Fay (Get/Set File Attributes, I think it's called) that can do this. It can also be done via the Windows Script Host if it's available.

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
>>oFile = oFSO.GetFile(lcfile) && lcfile is the name of the file
>>* Toggle the read-only bit
>>oFile.Attributes = BITXOR(oFile.Attributes, 1)

In the above example, if the attribute is not Read-Only the Read-Only bit will be set. Otherwise, it will be cleared.

>Hey, that is much better. So if you want to check the setting you would test with BITTEST()?

Yeppers, and you could use BITCLEAR() and BITSET().
