That doesn't sound right, though I've seen issues with nested locks too. What happens if you call this handler:

on unlockReally
  repeat until the lockscreen is false
    unlock screen
  end repeat
end unlockReally

okay after some testing it seems only the script that locked the screen, maybe 
only the actual handler can clear it's own lock. If this is not right I'd like 
to know it. Seems there ought to be an unlock all command or some such thing.

Hi all.

I have some screen updates I do that take time because I query a database 
first, and it may not be local. To keep the screen from progressively updating, 
I lock the screen.
