Aha! No, it's not.  It's another thread. Based on the discussion in  
the messages that follow this one, I'm confident that "begin-edit- 
sequence" and "end-edit-sequence" will solve this problem.

I see now that the *very next section* after "Internal Locks" is  
"Editors and Threads."

I can claim (lamely) that ending the "Internal Locks" section with the  
sentence "See also Editors and Threads" would have helped me, but I  
think that's basically just a big fat RTFM to me.  I'm slightly  
comforted by the fact that Ryan appears not to have known this either.

Thanks for your patience.

John
