What happens when you set your COMMAND.COM to read-only?

A long time ago, when the big virus scare was up, I changed my COMMAND to
read-only... no bad things have happened to me yet.  Wonder what's coming.

Blah, blah, blah.  I have an ornery post program.  It gets mad when I don't
waste bandwidth at the bottom of an article where I quoted a bunch of text
with a quick question or answer.  Blah, blah, blah.



Boo!
