Did I find an answer? Yes I did. It turned out to be *incorrect* documentation.
Again, the call for NewHandle goes:
		x = NewHandle(a,b,c,d) where

	x = a handle,
	a = # of pages to allocate (a long int not int as stated)
	b = memoryid from mmstartup()
	c = attributes - int
	d = Address of where to start (pointer)

the problems results if an int is used rather than a long int (the compiler
didn't like that at all). Also, the call doesn't like a value for variable
d (you actually have to decalare a variable and then move a value into it
before using it). Once that was taken care of, it works. Where did I find
this inforation? In a Mac C book.
