RO (READ_ONLY) -- 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.
