Write protect a file

Is there any way to toggle the read-only attribute of a file from a
powershell script?

Assume we have a file test.txt in the current folder.

$t = get-item test.txt
$t.IsReadOnly = $true

or if you want to perform as one line could use
(get-item test.txt).IsReadOnly = $true

For other files need to vary the path

Thanks Richard, that's just what I was after.
