Subject: File access 'M' on MDFS

Does anybody know what setting a file's access to 'M' does on the
MDFS, settable with *ACCESS filename +M:
 
>*INFO FRED
FRED       FFFF1200 FFFF802B   00119A WR/r  today today 02:49 100 (100)
>*ACCESS FRED +M
>*INFO FRED
FRED       FFFF1200 FFFF802B   00119A MWR/r today today 02:49 100 (100)
>
 
All file operations seem unchanged. I have trawled through the
MDFS manual several times and only found two references to it, in
that NetFS_Examine returns the 'M' bit in the access byte, and it
is listed in the allowed characters for the *ACCESS command in the
list of errors.
