Subject: 23.1; Revert Buffer

From: Joe Camaioni <[email-masked]>

A buffer has been loaded with a file.  It is initially unwritable.  A chmod is performed in a shell window to make it writable.  Going into the File menu pulldown, the Revert Buffer stays gray-ed out, and the file is still listed as unwritable.
