i'm using lightspeed pascal 2.0 and i'm writing a text filter as an
extension to Stephen Chernicoff's MiniEdit program.  I use TEGetText to get
a handle to the actual text (a packed array of characters) and then i create
a new handle.  I read a character from the first and put it in the second
(filtering some characters if necessary).  Then i use TESetText to plug the
second one back into the TextEdit record.  But what do i do with the first
one?  i don't need it anymore, so i want to dispose of it, but if i do, the
handle in the TextEdit record (hText) gets nullified.                  

thanks for any help,
daniel
