UNLOCK [#] filenum [,{record | [start] TO end}]
Removes a previously set file or record lock.
filenum The number under which the file was OPENed.
record The number of a record to be LOCKed or UNLOCKed.
start The number of the first record to be LOCKed or UNLOCKed.
end The number of the last record to be LOCKed or UNLOCKed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: If the file specified by filenum has been opened for
random access, you may lock either a single record number
(with the record argument) or a range of record numbers.
If you specify a range and omit the start argument, all
records from the beginning of the file to end are locked.
If the file specified by filenum was opened for sequential
input or output, the entire file is locked.
LOCK requires DOS 3.0 or later and SHARE.EXE.
It is important to UNLOCK all LOCKed records before
closing the file.
