Andrew,
Thank you so much. I have a couple of question. I put these in my
.emacs file and they work except for one small problem. The file is
really unlocked but the buffer thinks that it is still locked. I tried
doing a C-X C-F to reread the file but it still thought it was locked.
How would I change the mac-unlock-file so that it realizes that it can
now edit the buffer and be able to save the changes back to the file.
Also, I tried to assign F7 to the mac-unlock-current-file, however I
could not figure out how to get it to except just F7 as the command key.
Here is the commands that I tried:
(global-set-key "^[[18~" 'mac-unlock-current-file)
(global-set-key "f7" 'mac-unlock-current-file)
Thanks again,
Susan
