Yes, I realize why anyone can delete files from a 777 directory.  My
original posting was poorly worded in that this seemed to be the main
point, perhaps.  I only though it a bit strange because I figured there
might be unusual permissions on /usr/spool/locks which prevented the
deletion of the tip lock file upon exiting tip.  Thanx for all the
responses, but I still need to know how to make tip delete the lock
automatically.
