[comp.sys.amiga] Resizing 2.0 root windows?

DEB110@psuvm.psu.edu (Doug Bischoff) (11/27/90)

     I'm trying to resize the window that comes up when I click on the
"Work" disk Icon in WB 2.02.  I drag it to the right place and size, and
when I try to snapshot the window, it says "error 202: object is protected
from deletion" (or some such quote).  I check the .info file for it, and
indeed it says ---arwe--- (or something like that: golly, I'm being rather
precise today) So I understand that it can't be deleted.
     But how the heck can I get the window to change sizes?  How does one
un-deleteprotect a file if even for a moment?  I've tried "Information"
but it doesn't give any check boxes like the other information requesters
do.  Any ideas?

     protect disk.info +d

     The +d sets the delete flag, so now you can snapshot the file.
