You can also use WSH

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFile = oFSO.GetFile(lcfile) && lcfile is the name of the file
IF BITAND(oFile.Attributes, 0x01) = 1   && Is file read only
   oFile.Attributes = BITAND(oFile.Attributes, 0xFE)   && Turn off read only attriburte
ENDIF

Remember that WSH is included in Windows starting with Windows 2000. There's no guaranty that it would be present on PC with any previuos version of Windows.
