NO! Don't ever do this. TE guarantees that (**te).teLength ==
GetHandleSize((**te).hText). You should NEVER explicitly change (**te).teLength
Also, TEUpdate always works just fine. I use it all the time, including
to print (by doing TEUpdates at TEs that have been redirected to point to
the printer's grafPort.)
