Setting Other Text Properties
-----------------------------

   The Other Properties menu lets you add or remove three other useful
text properties: `read-only', `invisible' and `intangible'.  The
`intangible' property disallows moving point within the text, the
`invisible' text property hides text from display, and the `read-only'
property disallows alteration of the text.

   Each of these special properties has a menu item to add it to the
region.  The last menu item, `Remove Special', removes all of these
special properties from the text in the region.

   Currently, the `invisible' and `intangible' properties are _not_
saved in the text/enriched format.  The `read-only' property is saved,
but it is not a standard part of the text/enriched format, so other
editors may not respect it.
