You have been a good help! And my only remaining question is, do you know of a way to test if a pointer is still allocated to memory, so I don't try to free up empty pointers?

Adam: I have not much experience, but I'm trying to help you the best I can. In the case of global pointers, I don't know how are you doing to get the pointers. In my case, I usually have the sequence: MemHandleNew() MemHandleLock() MemHandleUnlock() MemHandleFree() -look at the Palm OS reference for details of these functions- Other posibility is to use: MemPtrNew() MemPtrFree() Furthermore, you can use 'MemPtrRecoverHandle()' function to get a handle. i.e., in all cases I use a chunk of memory (locked or not), the most rapidly I can, I unlock and free that chunk. Sorry for my poor English and I hope I helped you in anyway.
