Is it possible to deallocate only part of the memory that was allocated
using a specific key?  In other words, I want to use AllocRemember with a
single key for all my allocations, so I could free up all the memory in one
shot upon exit from my program.  But during the course of my program execution,
I would like to free up selected chunks of memory, (without freeing up all of
it).  Is that doable?

	Thanks,
