I copied a number of files from CD to my hard drive, and now I want to delete
some and rename others. From command line I get "access is denied" with
SYS0005. If I open the drive object, and highlight such a file, then click MB2
to bring up the Delete option, there is no Delete option offered in the popup
menu.

I am guessing they were write-protected? How to display R status? I cannot
find any way to display the attribute status of the files, or to change it if
I could display using graphical tools. I was able to do from command line
using OS/2 ATTRIB, but this would take an hour manually. Please help.
