I am still using Clarion for Window 2, legacy templates only, but, in
the IDE I see, I can customize many aspects by right-clicking on the
control and going through the dialogue box. If you do this and see an
Actions Tab, does it by any chance have a checkbox related to editing?
Is it checked? If so, try unchecking it.

Clarion is a completely different concept from (what I remember from
20 years ago about) Clipper. Don't think about writing code. Let
Clarion generate the code you want for as many files (tables) as you
choose to feed it. Think about designing applications, not writing
them.
If you must have something that the templates don't do, then think
about writing your own. Copying the existing template and modifying it
to do what you want works quite well.
And I agree with the previous poster that pointing your usenet client
at the news.softvelocity.com will get you in touch with a lot more
Clarion users.
