Do I need to call StripAddress() in the following situation?  Here's the
relevant code:

Handle        myHand;
unsigned char *myPtr;

myHand = NewHandle(AMOUNT);
HLock(myHand);
myPtr = StripAddress(*myHand);    /* <-- do I need to do this? */
/* Now, put stuff into the block, using and incrementing myPtr */

Do I need to call StripAddress(*myHand) to make sure I get a valid
pointer into the block?  I *think* I do, because the master pointer
might have strange stuff in it, but I'm not sure, and the tech note
isn't too clear on this....
