Hi Ai Lee,
The OS is free to change the locations of chunk of memory anytime
in order for the other chunks to expand and while you are
working with the chunk you will need to lock it
using the MemHandleLock to prevent the Palm OS from
moving the chunk of memory while using it.
The MemHandleUnlock is basically used to unlock this chunk
of memory which is locked using the MemHandleLock.
The MemHandleUnlock should be used paired with
MemHandleLock to unlock this chunk as OS is free
to move the chunk .
The MemHandleFree is actually used to dispose the chunk
which was being allocated by MemHandleNew.
Please do get back for further clarifications
Thanks
Arvind
