Hello Luther

For years I decipher dictionaries a different way.

If a feature is described as "read only", I assume that it is really read only.
When there is no such comment for a feature, I check if I may write it.
There are numerous features which are not flagged as read only but which are.

Just one example :

In System Events dictionary we may read :

alias n, pl aliases [inh. disk item > item] : An alias in the file system
elements
contains aliases, disk items, files, file packages, folders, items; contained by application.
properties
creator type (text) : the OSType identifying the application that created the alias
default application (disk item) : the application that will launch if the alias is opened
file type (text) : the OSType identifying the type of data contained in the alias
kind (text, r/o) : The kind of alias, as shown in Finder
product version (text, r/o) : the version of the product (visible at the top of the "Get Info" window)
short version (text, r/o) : the short version of the application bundle referenced by the alias
stationery (boolean) : Is the alias a stationery pad?
type identifier (text, r/o) : The type identifier of the alias
version (text, r/o) : the version of the application bundle referenced by the alias (visible at the bottom of the "Get Info" window)

default application is not flagged as read only but, as far as I know, it is.
