i *thought* the "-u" told filepro not to *SET* the lockfile, which would
mean he'd want it on the dclerk/rclerk command line, not the dreport.

whether or not he'd want it on the dreport as well is another issue.
if its a non-posting report, he'd probably want it on it too, but
that's not his problem - his problem was that dclerk was creating
the lock, not dreport.

...and i second walter's thoughts, i cringe at giving regular users access 
to dpromenu.
