One way is to use the FileSystemObject in Scrrun.dll:

*----------------------------------------
LOCAL loFS AS Scripting.FileSystemObject
LOCAL loFile
m.loFS = NEWOBJECT( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
m.loFile = m.loFS.GetFile( "filename" )
? m.loFile.Attributes
* Then the code to change the attribute.
