Did Apple invent the concept of "handles"? (A handle is a pointer to a pointer; it is used for memory management purposes) Do other small computers (IBM PC, Atari, Amiga, etc.) use handles? Do people ever use handles in a Unix environment? Most Unix programmers I talk to have never heard of a "handle"... -Ted
