Summary: ACQUIRE MUTEX

Initial Comment:
The SCL Manual says "ACQUIRE MUTEX" is used for inter-
script synchronization. It also says the Timeout 
value is in seconds.

It appears that:
- ACQUIRE MUTEX works also to synchronize threads 
(and fortunately it works !)
- the Timeout value is dependent of the WAIT UNIT 
instruction
- the ON TIMEOUT GOTO and ON ERROR GOTO clauses are 
mandatory to avoid a "TOF error" at runtime
