Anyone done an "ATTRIB" userlib ?

What does ATTRIB mean?

I think he wants to use the old attrib from ms-dos to change file permissions...
You can use the exec with the original attrib.exe as parameter!

That's right :)

Could you elaborate a little bit please ?

I think he means eg.
ExecFile "attrib myfile.txt -H"

tho maybe this won't work, maybe you need to use the msdos prompt like this:

execfile "command attrib myfile.txt -h"

-h stands for the settings, see msdos help about ATTRIB.
