If you are opening from within Vim (perhaps ':e file.txt' or ':edit
file.txt'), then you could use :view instead (':view file.txt'). Using
':help :view' shows that it is the same as :edit but it sets the
'readonly' option which you can also set:
:set readonly
Readonly allows you to change, but gives a warning. You have to use :w!
to write. Use ':set nomodifiable' to prevent changes.
