Hi Xebar. Use C-x C-q. This works for every file, I use it in particular for notes that I do not want to edit. It runs the command read-only-mode which changes whether the current buffer is read-only. Actually the command switches the local variable buffer-read-only, so you can use that variable as local for every file that you do not want to edit by default. At the end of those files add: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE %%% Local Variables: %%% buffer-read-only: t %%% End: #+END_EXAMPLE And every time that you want to edit them just do C-x C-q Best, Jorge.
