Opening a Dwg as Read Only via SCR file?

I've a VB.net application that I've written (a long time ago) that creates
custom Plot SCR script files. I've been adding to it and modifying it as time
goes on.

One thing I've been asked to add to it, but I can't figure out how to, is to
have the Script file open a Drawing as Read Only.

In other words, if Person "A" is working on drawing X-1, and Person "B" runs a
Plot Script file of drawing X-1, then the script file stops and prompts the
user if they want to open this drawing as Read Only.

So I want to have ALL drawings opened up as Read Only to avoid this Message.

Can this be done? If so... how?

Thanks in advance.

You could create a lsp or vba script that will open a file readonly
then call that from you scr.

I could... but IF possible (and I doubt it is), I'd like to keep this in the
SCR file.
