Excellent, thanks! I think I'll do the simpler "set the lockText of 
field 1 to true" "set the lockText of field 1 to false" with an 
explanation of why it is there. Better than having to explain repeat 
structures and self-referencing boolean statements at the point where 
this has to be handled. ;-)
