Bruce, you should get a copy of the program ShowLocks, you would notice
that after running your code that there were a bunch of filelocks 
hanging around. The reason is that you don't ever "UnLock" anything
that you "Lock". So in your code ...

>    lock=ParentDir(lock);
>    if (lock!=NULL) SeekRoot(lock);

This has to be changed to something like :
	newlock = ParentDir(oldlock);
	UnLock(oldlock);
	oldlock = newlock;
	if (newlock != NULL) ...


And somewhere near the end of this routine you should have a statement :
>    lock=Lock(dirName,ACCESS_READ);
	...
	UnLock(lock);

Otherwise you will be losing little chunks of memory right and left.
