It depends on where you will use that. When you use a Handle, the memory chunck is moveable, I mean when the palmOS need to (re)allocate memory for other porpouses it could move your handle to satisfact its necessity. So, before you use it you must lock the handle... and unlock just after using to let the PalmOS manager the memory freely...When you see that you won´t use this handle anymore you free it with memhandlefree.
The MemPtrNew simple allocates memory, the PalmOS will "forget" that chuncks for this while (up to MemPtrFree) because it is yours! So, you have to feel the best moment to use both. In my case, if I will keep the allocated memory for a long time but not so usable I use the MemHandle otherwise I prefer MemPtr.

My app need to allocate four 4k buffer, that will be used by many functions during the app execution. I can allocate memory for the pointers using MemPtrNew and MemHandleNew. Witch one is the best for using?
