As a couple of people have mentioned to me, the Resource Manager checks
with the Memory Manager to see if the size of a resource has changed before
it writes the changed resource to disk.  Thus, the Memory Manager
procedure SetHandleSize is all that is necessary.  I was mostly fooled
by the fact that while there is a procedure SizeResource to get the
size of a resource, there is none to set it (which makes sense -- 
SizeResource is clearly documented as being intended to get the size of
the resource on disk, before reading it into memory).  Thanks much to
those who responded.
