Did you check "lock screen" in the dictionary?
I think the explanation is not too bad.

Chris.

And be aware that if you lock the screen a few times, you have to unlock at least that many times. Locks are queued. This has popped up a few times.

So here is a mini lesson. "Lock Screen" is a command. The "lockScreen" is a property. So if you are running handlers that call lots of other handlers where some of them might be locking the screen, and you don't know where you are with that, if you want to make sure the screen is unlocked for some local purpose:

repeat until the lockScreen is "false"
unlock screen
end repeat

Thankyou Klaus, thankyou craig for that headsup on what you said, noted and recorded.
kind regards
