Hello,

I am writing a solitare type game and have a couple of questions about
loading bitmaps from a *.res file.  I have been loading the bitmaps
sequentially into a single variable of type HBitmap when the program
needs to display them.  The problem is that I don't think that the
HBitmap variable is being reused properly.  When I exit the application,
a certain percentage of the windows resources reported by the Program
Manager are gone.  What does the program need to do in order to reuse
the variable?  When I use DeleteObject, the program crashes with a stack
error.  Should I just load all of the bitmaps into an array?
I am using TPW 1.5

Thanks in advance,

Erik Arthur	erik@turtle.psych.umn.edu
