Since I'm a user of 4os2, I don't know how OS/2's builtin attrib command
works, but my '-R' object is a copy of the 4os2 window object, with
the parameter set to: "/C attrib /D /S -R %*", which means it'll execute
attrib -R on any object dropped on it, and all the dubdirectories there of.
The "/D" flag tells it to change the attribute even if the thing dropped
is a directory itself. Needless to say, I have 8 such object, -R, +R, -H, +H,
-A, +H, -S, +S. Aint the WPS neat?
