Hello, just wondering how I would go about making a file read-only, and
writeable only through my program.

=D Thanks!

In which file system and operating system?
You need a file system supporting user/group permissions (as Unix/Linux
any
filesystem). Windows with FATXX doesn’t support it.

Then you must use File methods about file permissions.
