  9. Sub:    perm or temp memory?
  10.  
  11. In a routine like TTeView.SetText which creates a handle, PtrToHand is used
  12. which would seem to create a handle from temporary memory.  In many other
  13. methods of TTeView, NewPermHandle is used.
  14.  
  15. Should SetText really create a permanent handle?   If it is desirable to use a
  16. permament handle, maby PermPtrToHand (and others) could be added to
  17. MacAppUtilities?  Or, am I confuses as to what should be perm and what should
  18. be temp?  Regards, Les Caudle
