In the meantime, what I do is declare a static local
VoidHand in my form handler, and allocate memory for my
static variables in the frmOpen case, and store its
address in the static local VoidHand. It's almost as
good. And if you want to conserve stack space, you can
just throw in all the locals that would normally be
sitting on the stack! If you compile with optimization
turned on, the end result is that you're accessing your
locals via an address register different from the stack
pointer, but big deal.
Of course, don't forget to free the memory when you're
closing the form.
