     NAME
	  Protect - To set files protection status

     SYNOPSIS
	  Protect "FILES" FLAGS	<QUIET>

     DESCRIPTION
	  Protect is used to set the protection	level of a file	or
	  files.  You may set the protection level for multiple	files,
	  since	this command, like most	ARP commands, accepts
	  wildcards.  The various flags	that may be set	are R=Reads
	  allowed W=Writes allowed, E=Execution	allowed, D=Deletes
	  allowed.  If you omit	an option flag in the Protect command,
	  Protect will disallow	that operation on the file.  If	you
	  use wildcards, protect will display the file being altered,
	  and the protection level it is being set to.	If you use the
	  QUIET	switch,	then Protect will not display this
	  information.

     EXAMPLE
	  Protect *.c RWE	   ; keep all files ending in ".c"
	  from being deleted

     BUGS
	  Note that the	current	version	of AmigaDOS only checks	the
	  status of the	Delete flag for	a file.	 You may set/clear the
	  other	flags with this	command, but AmigaDOS will ignore
	  them.
