Section 8 - Protecting and Unprotecting

Protecting is an action out of world applying to one thing. Understand "protect [something]" as protecting.

Check protecting:
    if the noun is not a notepad:
        say "That action can't be used with [the noun]." instead;
    otherwise if the noun is non-edit-allowing:
        say "[The noun] is already write-protected." instead.

Carry out protecting:
    now the noun is non-edit-allowing.

Report protecting:
    say "You have write-protected the text on [the noun]."

Unprotecting is an action out of world applying to one thing. Understand "unprotect [something]" as unprotecting.

Check unprotecting:
    if the noun is not a notepad:
        say "That action can't be used with [the noun]." instead;
    otherwise if the noun is edit-allowing:
        say "[The noun] is not currently write-protected." instead.

Carry out unprotecting:
    now the noun is edit-allowing.

Report unprotecting:
    say "[The noun] is no longer write-protected."

Notepad ends here.
