Hi Russ and Ant, I think I've found a bug in the emulator: If you try to open a file for *reading* that has the read-only attribute set, the function will fail. You can even try it out from the desktop. Try copying a read-only file to another directory, it'll fail. I haven't checked yet if STeem v 2.2 and 2.3 have the same behaviour, but if I remember correctly it worked in Steem 2.2.
