Subject: What do you do with 'replaced' Dialog items after SetDItem()????

Let's say you have a dialog with an icon item.  You want to change the icon to
something else.  So you do a SetDItem() with the Handle to the new icon (which
you've read in thru GetResource()).  OK, but what happens to the Handle to the
old icon (which you can get prior to the SetDItem() with GetDItem())?  That is,
should I perform a ReleaseResource() on it after I to the SetDItem with the new
icon Handle?  If not, will the Dialog Manager do it for me?  If so, what do I
do with non-resource based dialog items? DisposeHandle()?

Any info much appreciated!

Robert
