>Let me emphasize that people can put a "lock" on any section, which
>does NOT mean they have the write token. If you "lock" a section, \you
>are asking the token holder NOT to change that section. So you can
>privately edit the section while the token holder inserts changes.
>
>Then when the token holder relinquishes the token, the person who \had
>a "lock" can take the write token and insert changes ...
>
>And so on.

>We've been using the lock/token system for years and it is extremely
>smooth and fast ... if everyone is on the same wavelength, that is.
