setProp and Lock messages

[Pete]

I think the reference to the documentation not being believable alluded to
the LC documentation not the datagrid documentation.  The LC Reference
Manual and the dictionary are old and definitely contain inaccuracies.  On
the topic of setprop and recursion, for example, the reference manual
clearly states that you don't need to user lock messages to prevent
recursion but, as several people have mentioned in this thread, you do.

Although the datagrid docs are not without fault.  There are several
properties and commands that have been introduced since the initial version
which are not mentioned anywhere in the docs.

Personally, I think this is another problem that affects new LC users.
 It's a steep learning curve as it is and inaccurate docs make it steeper.
 I'm probably old fashioned, but I still believe in the RTFM adage!
