Greetings;

I am in the process of writing a 'background' task.  Really, I am writing
a VBL task.  I wondering what problems could occur if I do what IM
says not to, and use routines which use the memory manager.

IM says you have to worry about handles being dereferenced.  If you lock the
handles you use, and clean up your stuff when done, can you safely use
routines which call the memory manager

Please e-mail me, wieser@cpsc.ucalgary.ca or BSWieser@uncamult.bitnet,
with any help/hints.  Even just to say hi (so I know news is working).
