Several major modes put their buffer in a read-only mode even if the underlying file is writable. This is typically the case for modes that change the appearance of the buffer (use things like after-string and display properties). I think in the case of Info buffers, it's perfectly OK to open them in read-only mode even if the file is writable. Stefan
