When a file is not checked out, your local copy is locked, or made read-only to remind you that it should not be altered. The Use_ReadOnly variable in SS.INI changes this default behavior. The -W option changes it for a specific command.
The following table lists ways to use the -W option.
| Option | Description |
| -W | Local files are made read/write. |
| -W- | Local files are made read-only. |
