This interchangable usage of database handles as memory
handles kinda puts lie to the division set up by the
separate DmXxx() and MemXxx() APIs.
Redundant though it may be, I think it would be better
if there were a DmHandleSize(). Code would be clearer
that way if nothing else.
I think there are other places where the DmXxx API
punts and relies upon using the MemXxx API instead.
(Resizing a record comes to mind.)
