Question:

Can I set a show file on a Vi console so it cannot be erased?

Answer:

Yes, you can do that on a PC. In Windows right-click on the show file and set it to 'read-only' just like you can do with any other file in Windows. Default Shows are set to read-only automatically by the system. As soon as you do a "Save As" operation on a default show, it removes the read-only properties.
