Open with deny-write??

Can TextPad be configured to open a file in deny-write mode so that while the file is open, other applications can read the file but cannot write to it?

(For Win32 programmers, this would be accomplished by calling CreateFile without the FILE_SHARE_WRITE parameter.)

Configure - Preferences - File
Keep files locked while editing them

seems the most likely candidate...

Thank you. That was just what I needed.
