Hi folks, 

I just started to learn Org.  I find that org-agenda will complain
"buffer is read only" if the org file buffer is read only, like in
view-mode or my personal less-minor-mode[1].  Does org-agenda try to modify
the org files? If not, maybe `let' around with (inhibit-read-only t) is
good.

It does not for me, se we need more info like version numbers of Emacs  
and Org,
a backtrace would be nice, etc.

I don't get a backtrace, only:

I think you'd better update your Org-Mode. Mine is 5.23c.
Based on my observation, I don't think it is trying to modify you org
file when you start it. I am suspicious about your org-files themselves.

Thanks.  It's been resolved in private mails.  I've upgraded my Org, and
now there's no problem.

ps.  I'm sorry I forgot to CC the discussions to the list.
