Internally, you are basically using the same routines either way. The
rule of thumb I push around here is basically, if you need the memory
beyond the scope of one function/event-handler, use MemHandleNew and
then lock/unlock each use. If the scope is limited to one
function/event-handler, use MemPtrNew.

Subject: MemHandleNew() vs. MemPtrNew()
I have always been using MemHandleNew() and lcoking
& freeing it in each routine that needs access to that memory.
I have the feeling that this may be overkill.
I would like to invite comments on when to use MemHandleNew()
and when to use MemPtrNew(). What are the benefits and penalties
of each.
