Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--AUTOLOCK------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: NOAUTOLOCK
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Initial

Comments:

This directive does not appear in the SETTING list if its state is the same as WRITELOCK. In this case, the state of the two directives is indicated by the FILESHARE directive.

This directive is included for compatibility with earlier file-sharing products. When writing new programs you should use the locking syntax rather than this directive.
