Sorry for that, the documentation is completely false. But who wrote it? :-) The LOCK instruction does not lock a specific stream not a stream, but instead use a specific path to create a global system lock. You use it this way: DIM hFile AS File TRY hFile = LOCK "~/lock" IF ERROR THEN PRINT "Already locked by something else!" ELSE PRINT "Got locked!" ... UNLOCK hFile ENDIF Do not rely on the lock file contents. It is truncated to zero byte when the lock is acquired.
