Perhaps I dont really specifically need 'record locking' per se. I am 
just used to thinking in such terms because in Business Basic when I call 
up a record onscreen in modify mode for a user and dont want its contents 
changing behind their back, I "EXTRACT" the record. I dont like the idea 
of the entire (for example) debt-masterfile or client-masterfile locked
because one bozo went to lunch with one record onscreen in 
potentially-modifying mode, so the BASIC's approach of locking the record 
seemed a natural approach.
