I was wondering if the CA people could elaborate on just what NEEDS to
be allocated with the MEMF_PUBLIC flag?  I have seen different people
do different things for structures like Menu, MenuItem, Message,
various IOxRequests, etc.  Can I just declare AND initialize these
structures in C?  (Does this mean that program data segments are loaded
into PUBLIC memory?)  Or is it more proper to declare a pointer, and
then AllocMem() at runtime?
 
Is there some way for me to remember what needs to be PUBLIC?  (e.g.
everything the EXEC has to touch??!?)
