that'll teach me to check before I post!

Actually it's not a bug, but there is something strange I noticed about
Cshell 4.01a:

When you use Dir (ls) on a write protected diskette, the system pops up 
a 'disk is write protected, retry, cancel' requestor. The dir command
is built into the shell program so I don't *think* it could be infected
with some virus. Other commands don't cause the requestor to pop up.

What is dir trying to write to the disk? I click cancel and it seems
to go on normally and gives me a dir. Is it a bug, virus or feature?
