I can't resist...

Maybe you should (gasp) edit one of the dos include files (dos.h?
libraries/dos.h? /dosextens.h? /doseverthinelse.h?) and put in a line

#define Unlock UnLock

This should be safe under normal use (hand me that fire extinguisher).

Why fret about UnLock? Who can remember those BltBitMaskBitMapRastPort
names?  Not me.
