I know this is really nitpicking, but it can save you typing in the
NewClearPtr() glue.  The naming scheme for the new Memory Manager
calls follow the way they're called in assembly.  The 'new' functions
(TN #219) are:

NewPtrClear(), NewPtrSys(), NewPtrSysClear()
NewHandleClear(), NewHandleSys(), NewHandleSysClear()

Think C and Pascal (and MPW, of course) all know about these
functions.
