This is not correct. On my W2K box :

c:\> echo >ro
c:\> attrib +r ro
c:\> del ro
c:\ro
Access is denied.

I don't know how you're doing this but it isn't via the command line.
The GUI may be doing something different (implicitly removing the R attribute).

Please explain the exact semantics you think we should have, and what
you're not getting.

Thanks,
