Theres an odd chance you don't "own" the file.  And its been so long I 
have forgotten how to fix that. There's e and pe, w and pw, and one 
other, perhaps r and pr.  If you have "help" and helpmsg installed, it 
shows for "help attr" that the "perm" or "-perm" controls the setting or 
clearing of the referenced bits.

Unlike most *nix stuff, os9 attr is both attr and chattr.
