Welp, if you use FILE then you have to know the structure that Lattice
keeps the AmigaDOS filehandle for the Unix file you are working on.  Once
you know that you can look at the AmigaDOS filehandle struct and maybe
get the lock out of it.  I forget if struct FileHandle (or whatever) is
considered private only, though...
 
A much more useful function would be a way to open a file based on the
lock you have instead of having to go though some crap like use ARP's
PathName() command to build the filename off the lock so you could feed
it to Open().  Does such a beast exist and I just haven't been able to
find it is all?
