David, Locks, Volume Nodes, and indeed most AmiaDOS structures are specified by BPTRs, which are ordinary addresses divided by 4. To convert a BPTR to a real address you need to multiply it by 4 (shifting left by 2 is the usual method). After this you'll have the address of a real data structure. -Bill
