Since they are already resources, it is more convenient to do a
	MoveHHi(), HLock() than it is to read them in,
	NewPtr(GetHandleSize()) them, BlockMove() them, and
DetachResource() them.

Just remember to do a SetApplLimit(MaxApplZone()) early in your program so
MoveHHi() puts them in the right place.
