No.  The handle returned by GetDItem is just a handle to the text.
Ideally you would only access this handle by passing it to GetIText
and SetIText.

A dialog has one TERecord that is shared by all editText items (i.e.
it contains the correct values for the currently active editText item.
This is all fairly well explained in Chapter 13  The Dialog Manager of
Inside Mac Vol I (esp. pg I-408).  Hope this helps.
