I am writing resources to files for the first time.  The interface for
this is extremely clumsy.  In short, I do the following:

1) Do a GetFInfo of the file to see if it already exists
2) if it doesn't, do a PBCreate
3) do an openresfile of the file
4) do a Get1Resource of the resource I intend to write
5) if the get fails, allocate a handle and do an AddResource
6) change the resource
7) call ChangedResource with the resource
8) do a CloseResFile.

Two questions:  Is this right?  Do I need to deallocate the handles if I
allocated them, and if so, how? (DisposHandle or DisposeResource?)

Thanks,
Dwight
