Thanks to Greg Snow, Sam Buttrey, Nick Ellis, Patrick Connolly, and immhan
who suggested that using synchronize() might allow a user to see objects
created by someone else.

After a little experimentation, we determined that this does not work on our
platform (Windows95 PCs, Novell Netware on network. SPLUS 2000 Prof. Release
1).  Exiting SPLUS and re-entering does work but is pretty inconvenient,
especially if you're working on a deadline.
