Here is a simple scenario.

LIBREF-0 /home/group/project1

With several users writing code for project1

User A issues a command )Continue and goes to lunch
User B issues a command )Continue and goes to lunch
User C issues a command )Continue and goes to lunch

Who went last was the one whose )Continue was created for A, B, C
Information for the other than last )Continue was overwritten
Another possibility is that of A,B,C , two of them could have been saving or dropping )Continue

This question is only a problem if LIBREF-0 is a shared library.  It is likely that it is shared. -- How so?

I have the LIBREF-0 as pointing to my  /home/Dropbox/APLarea.  I have access to Dropbox from multiple systems.

My view is that sometime in the future, we should consider that gnu-apl's  )Continue be stored privately within a
/home/logonid/.gnu-apl   or as /home/logonid./apl-continue.xml

Just some thoughts from an old Geezer who was an APL biggot beginning 1972
