Set Buffer Modifiable
Determines whether you can edit (modify) the text in the buffer.
Usage notes:
o By default, buffers you create are modifiable. Typically you make a
buffer unmodifiable to prevent inadvertently changing text you want to
keep intact, such as reference data or a previous draft.
o Making a buffer read-only also makes it unmodifiable.
o If you create a "scratchpad" or temporary storage buffer, you may want
to set it to read-only and modifiable; this lets you edit the buffer,
but EVE does not write out that buffer on exiting.
o You can also set the modification attribute by using SET BUFFER.
o If you use REMOVE, CUT, or BOX CUT in an unmodifiable buffer, EVE does
a STORE TEXT or BOX COPY instead.
