Paul,
At least here in my setup: Win 95 with Netware 32 bit client and NetWare 3.11 they don't work if the table you're locking belongs in a .DBC whether buffering is on or not. I've discovered that with free tables everything works as expected. We've opened the same database table from the command prompt in 2 workstations and it always returns .T., also SET REFRESH doesn't help either.
Did you try it with a database table or a free table?
Cheers

Rodolfo
