default-security
is the default disk file security that is to be in effect when you log on or enter the 
VOLUME command without any parameters. (The current default file security is 
assigned to newly created disk files unless you explicitly assign a different security

characters inside quotation marks; the four characters represent the four security 
attributes:
R W E P
R 
specifies who can read the file.
