I am using SCO Foxbase+ on my 386 Xenix (latest version) multi-user
system with several terminals.  (We selected Foxbase+ for several
reasons including programming familiarity with dBase III+.)  The
multi-user features in fox+ is very new to us.  The manual described
the process and commands, but gave poor examples.  This left me with a
general overview of the multi-user commands and little knowledge on
proper usage.  

I have a small address book program (ported from dbase) which I would
like to have several users access concurrently while applying
appropriate file & record locks.  

Would someone out there in netland send me a simple fox+ program, using
multi-user features, so I can study it and use as a guide for our
program?  Please e-mail.

Thanks...
