  9. On page 331 of "Programming with MacApp" it says not to do this:
  10.  
  11.         fMyInstanceVariable := FunctionThatMayMoveMemory;
  12.  
  13. because the address fMyInstanceVariable^^ is computed before the function is
  14. called. Is this correct??? If so, then I'll have to check a bunch of things in
  15. my code. Does the code of MacApp really never use such statements?
