My limited understanding of Palm memory is that MemHandleNew allocates the
memory in storage memory, not on the heap.  There's generally much more
storage memory available than heap (e.g., on an 8Mb device, only 256Kb may
be heap and the rest is storage), so the advantage of using MemHandleNew is
there's more memory available to you.  If your program is not very memory
intensive, than you can just use "new" and the heap.

If I'm wrong about this, I'd appreciate being corrected.
