V4WS now has record level locks? Since when?? How do I lock records in V4WS
(give example please)?

I am worried about two simultaneous threads in V4WS both trying to update
the same index. Do I need to worry about this or does V4WS take care of
this automatically? In other words, can I use METHOD 1 safely?
