[TxMt] opening a file readonly

[Cliff Pruitt]

Well, you can mark the file itself as being read-only which will  
apply system wide and you wont be able to save it.

If you're wanting to actually prevent being able to modify the open  
document then I'd say probably no.  TextMate is a "text editor" by  
definition so you'd not really expect to find an option that removes  
the ability to edit.

I'f you're wanting a strict text-reader, why specifically are you you  
using TextMate?  Is there maybe a better tool for what you're trying  
to do?
