#### 4.9.29 Modified

Syntax: `Modified [0|1]`
Abbreviation: `MOD`

sets the modified flag. This flag is set automatically whenever a buffer is modified, and is used to determine which buffers need to be saved when `ne` exits. Normally you would not alter this flag, but when a buffer is inadvertently modified and you don't want the changes saved, `Modified` provides a way to make `ne` consider the buffer unchanged.

If you invoke `Modified` with no arguments, it will toggle the flag. If you specify 0 or 1, the flag will be set to false or true, respectively. An asterisk (‘`*`’) will appear on the status bar if the flag is true.
