  SetHandleCount( nHandles )-> <nHandlesAvailables>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 PARAMETER:

  <nHandles>   specifies the number of file handles that the application
               requires. The maximum value is 255


 RETURNS:

  <nHandlesAvailables> is the number of handles that are actually available
  It mmay be less than the requested value ! 


 DESCRIPTION:

  The SetHandleCount function changes the number of file handles available
  to a task. This is essential for Clipper programmers, as it increases the
  number of available file handles from  20 ( default ) to the required
  value. Please note, that every table and every index or Memo file need
  one file handle. so the default value is not enough in most cases.


 EXAMPLE:


    +--------------------------------------------------------------+
    |  /* Set max handles to 99 */                                 |
    |   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ;                                     |
    |     ICONIZED ;                                               |
    |     ON DROPFILES TakeDrop( aFiles ) ;                        |
    |     ON INIT SetHandleCount( 99 )                             |
    |                                                              |
    |                                                              |
