// Lock down the handle and get a pointer to the record data.
recbyte = MemHandleLock(recHandle);
// Allocate a new memory chunk that will contain a copy of the data.
newHandle = MemHandleNew(StrLen(recbyte) + 1);
// Lock down the handle and get a pointer to the memory chunk.
memrec = MemHandleLock(newHandle);
// Copy the data from the record to the new memory chunk.
