There are three kinds of behaviors when opening a file based on what is in the
lock file (provided the file isn't actually locked):
- if all the details are the same as your current user and profile, the file
will open without question,
- if the profile location is different, the program will assume that the same
user had the file open from a different system, and will let them open the file
for editing,
- if the user name is different, the program will assume the file is locked by
someone else, and will only allow opening it in read-only mode, or as a copy.

Of course file system locks can override user action, there's no real way to
"steal" edit mode if a file system lock is in place (unless by tinkering on OS
level).
