Handles are not created by the OS all Willy Nilly when you call DmGetRecord() it
returns a handle to the record, but to use it as a pointer, you still have to Lock /
Unlock it yourself. You are not allocating memory for the chunk you are using.

Subject: Freeing handles, a good practice?
Hi all, I have something that's been bugging me. In school we've been
taught to do memory clean-ups whenever we can, so for every malloc(), we
have to do an equivalent free().
Now, in PalmOS, when we do a DmGetRecord(), is a new handle is created
by DmGetRecord()? Just after DmReleaseRecord(), does the OS
automatically automatically free that handle?
