That's what I meant. I mean, if you select a profile which is in use,
then tell the user "Hey, that is in use. It's a little dangerous, but
if you insist, I'll break the lock. Do you want me to break the lock?"
If he answers "yes", then "Ok, I'm going to break the lock, this
may result in corruption of your profile. This is your last
chance. Proceed to break the lock?" If the answer is still "yes", then
do it. That's what I've put into my programs in past.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
