Any single command to unlock the screen will only undo one of the number of 
locks already set.


You have to do the whole thing:


repeat until the lockScreen = "false"
unlock screen
end repeat


try this in a button:


on mouseup
lock screen
lock screen
lock screen
repeat until the mouseClick
put random(99)
end repeat
if the lockscreen = "true" then unlock screen
answer the lockscreen
end mouseup


You get "true"

If you can't sleep at night

I haven't been sleeping very well recently, but, largely owing to my cat's tendency to gnaw my toes at 3 or 4 in the morning because she wants an early breakfast: NOT because of bl**dy LOCKSCREEN.

Yours, in 'programliness'  . . . LOL

because you're worried about multiple lock
screen, or keeping track of pairs, why not:

if the lockScreen is false then lock screen

If you only ever use this, when you absolutely need the screen to be
locked, then the count will only ever be 1. For those instances where you
absolutely need the screen to be unlocked:

if the lockScreen is true then unlock screen

Then you don't have to bother about keeping track of pairs and can rest
easy at nights knowing that if left to the engine it only has to unlock
once when it goes idle - rather than having to wait a millisecond longer if
you had dozens piled up.
