I concluded that, since Transcript reserves write capability for the first person to open a stack until she closes it, any scheme that requires concurrent update by more than one user meant opening and closing the data stack with each read or write--which I considered unacceptable overhead. But note that all read-only stacks can be shared by multiple users now.
Actually, while HyperCard works that way, Revolution lets multiple users open a stack and write to it. If two people have the stack open at the same time, either one can overwrite the other's changes. Record locking has to be scripted; often accomplished by writing a small text file to disk that tracks usage.
