I assume you're popping up the window with FrmPopuForm() and you want to
close it with FrmReturnToForm(). Yes, you will need to free up any memory
you allocate. Ideally, this should be done when a frmCloseEvent occurs, but
as you point out, FrmReturnToForm() does not send that event.
Usually, a popup form has a "Done" or "Okay" button. I clean up when the
user taps the "Done" button, just before calling FrmReturnToForm(0).
