Perhaps you're referring to The Complete HyperCard 2.0 Handbook by Danny 
Goodman.  I'm not sure.  In any case, this statement is not correct.
If anyone has write capability to a stack, HyperCard 2.0 does not allow
anyone else to open it.  If you lock the stack from the Finder, then
more than one person can open it at the same time -- and no one will have
write capability.
