I thought it was for Locking/Unlocking pages, but I'm not sure.

True enough; however, I fear trusting anyone enough to include class A

the subject of privilege classes, why does TCPIP hqve class A?

If you have class C, then you have all classes at your disposal,
regardless of what's in the directory. If, however, you define your
userid with the maximum privs and then *take away* privs you do not
normally require (see prior post), then you do not need class C.
When you decide you need class A, just SET PRIV * +A. When done, SET
PRIV
* -A.
The concept of "least privilege" should be applied.
