Is there a variabe to automatically open files as read-only?

You could change the file to read only then open it
(command ".shell" (strcat "attrib " file-name " +r"))
(command ".open" file-name "y")

then take the read only off
(command ".shell" (strcat "attrib " file-name "-r"))

Not that we could find earlier, but Mark Thomas, our fearless leader and expert shoveler, provided a lisp function that when combined with a profile to auto-load and run it, makes all subsequent openings read-only.

Just simply change the open command on a specific profile to load this lisp?

This is a handy tool, but could also be harmfull to the PM's.
