What does `locking' mean? The FAQ mentions two funcitons: one for locking code and one for data, but it doesn't explain what they ACTUALLY do! All I know is that I should `lock' all data and code `seen' by my interrupt handling routine. I feel a bit uneasy about not knowing why I'm doing something. Thanks! Stary _stary_ AT geocities DOT com
