[foxboro] "protect name .PARM" DM/FV command

Simple version: has anyone ever gotten this to work?

Longer version: I came across this while looking for something else in the 
docs, and thought, how could I not have seen this before?  It would solve, 
or at least mitigate, a great deal of issues for me (e.g., all those 
parameters that are settable but not connectable, and we don't want people 
to be able to set them).


So I tried the following: pref -DMNAME DMCMD "protect name .HLGP" and 
called up a detail display.  Unfortunately, it still happily let me change 
the hi/lo alarm destination.  I then did pref -DMNAME DMCMD "protect all", 
and it no longer let me select it, so my pref was working.


Am I doing something wrong?  Or is this going to be a "new feature" in 
Foxview 12?
