EngineSetLocked is what's called if you click the lock button yes.

All engine/layer commands accept either an inum or id.  01 would be 
layer id A.  Note that *C9010A# isn't a valid command, but for example 
*C9010001FF# (in 16-bit mode) would set channel 1 of layer A to 255.

I mentioned this before, but note that inums are in range 65 .. 95, 
while ids are in range 1 .. 63 (corresponding to A .. BK).  Because 
they're separate ranges, you can specify a layer by either of them 
without any risk of confusion.
