Sounds promising and *very* scary (implementation-wise) to me at the=20 same time ;-) An easier option might be to improve the locking method in DocSynch? Its author posted a comment on my blog after I reported your test=20 results there, see http://codeconsult.ch/bertrand/archives/000151.html. I'm thinking of a scenario like: 1. user types a character somewhere 2. DocSynch tries to lock document, if unable puts the lock request in=20= a queue (visible to users) 3. lock is released if user does not type anything for a few seconds 3. user can relase lock manually I know this is much less than what SubEthaEdit does, but it might still=20= be a very useful tool. Sorry to interrupt your dreams, just wanted to point this option out ;-) -Bertrand
