As soon as I clicked Post I knew I didn't provide enough info.
I want to use TStringList->LoadFromFile which just opens the
file for reading and closes it right away.

I can make the change in milliseconds and write it back out
right away but that's not good enough. I need a method that
*guarantees* that only one instance of the program can modify
the file at any one time.
