Because a number of my applications react to the Change event.
When text changes it does things I only want to do when all is loaded okay
and when typing text,
I did not realize it was still doing these things when loading a new
document or clearing the text and other things are not fully configured yet
because Lock was not locking.

My fix works so all is good now :)
I just expected (as anyone would) Object.Lock should suppress the Change
event trigger.
