Further to my first post with this subject I discovered if I leave the
.LNK and .LCK undeleted when I try to open GnuCash a window appears with
the following text, followed by three options:

"GnuCash could not obtain the lock for /home/ken/accounts/ken09/ken09.gnc"

If I choose 'open anyway' GnuCash will crash immediately and create new
.LNK and .LCK files.

If I choose 'Create new file' and then select from the list under
'Files' the file I want -- ken09.gnc, I am then asked whether I want to
save it or not.  Regardless of which of those options I choose the
"GnuCans could not obtain the lock ... window opens again.  If I choose
the 'Open new file. option Gnu with the accounts tab will open
momentarily and then crash.
