What if you did this?:

> LOCAL FN LOCKSYSTEM(MYFILE,NEXTFILE)
> errorCondition%=0
> ON ERROR GOSUB 65535
> WHILE errorCondition%=0
>  OPEN "R",#MYFILE,"TRAP",2,MYFOLDER%
   LONG if ERROR
    errorCondition%=1
    ERROR=0
   end if
>  LONG IF errorCondition%=0
>   OPEN "R",#NEXTFILE,"TRAP1",2,MYFOLDER%
    long if ERROR
     CLOSE #MYFILE
     errorCondition%=1
     ERROR=0 
    end if
>  END IF
> DEC(errorCondition%)
> WEND
> ON ERROR RETURN
> END FN

Just thinking...
