Hi,

  I'm trying to determine how one goes about determining whether
a given file, represented by a string object such as 
'c:\temp\blah.txt', is read only or not.  It sounds like it should
be simple, but a search of the class hierarchy revealed nothing
obvious.  I'm using Digitalk Smalltalk/V v2.0.  Any ideas?

Rob
