The latter, but for an old (existing) document. Often I want to just read an existing document, but sometimes I can inadvertently push some key or paste some text residing on the clipboard. I was just wondering if LyX could open these documents as read only from the start, avoiding such mishaps. Of course I could always tinker with the file attributes, but I'd like to avoid that too, if possible. Perhaps, the document's LyX source code could contain some locking command, one which would not be exported to LaTeX, for instance...
