I am writing an application in which I want to be able to launch (NOT
sublaunch) to other applications while passing the same information that
the Finder does when it launches an application (so I can specify a
document to open).  Since the application heap will get cleared when my
application dies, how do I ensure that the finder information sticks
around.  Also, do I just store the handle to the information in the same
low-mem globals I can get it from, or is there something more to do?
