PM? I think you mean the WPS.

This may be true for the brain-dead cmd.exe. 4os2 has no problem with
changing directory attributes. Most unix ports of chmod will work too.

First thing to recall is that there are two sets of flags to consider.
The WPS maintains one set of flags. The file system maintains another.
Use Unimaint's WPS->Selected Object Settings dialogs to modify the
properties owned by the WPS. Once you adjust these, you will be able to
use the folder's Properties notebook to change the file system attributes.
BTW, what is the name of the folder? Perhaps you are trying to manipulate
one that the WPS considers special, such as the Nowhere folders.
