Thank s!  That explains that.

But I expected to see  locks for the whole of
the file for the duration of the MS-Word session.

Why don't I see that?    Without that, I don't see how
Samba locks could play nicely with other Unix processes.

Actually, being a Samba techo newbie, I sort of expected
that those sort of locks would be dealt with internally to
Samba, and smbd would lock the whole file anyway.
Anyway to get that behaviour?

(Thinks: probably not as Samba doesn't know why the
file is being locked -- could be a word doco, could be
a database I s'pose)
