Have you tried this?  HyperCard 1.0.1 gives me an error if I try to
browse a locked stack or a stack on a locked volume.  My guess is that
this is because the scripts in some stacks may change state information,
such as whether an info field is visible or what buttons are showing, and
HC can't know in advance whether any stack is such a stack.
