LockShared('name');
Hmmm, I thought about that, but it is *WAY* more complicated than it
looks. What if after a Lock the process crashes before it can call
Unlock? It is this problem that inspired the add and sub calls.

This is a first pass on a simple shared memory variable system for

to
rip it apart.
It basically adds this functionality:
SetShared('name', value);
GetSharedInt('name');
SetSharedText('name);
RemovedShared('name');
I also added two extra functions that are sort of a kludge, but could be
very helpful.
AddSharedInt('name', value);
SubSharedInt('name', value);
These add or subtect the 'value' from the variable and return the
result.
