I've always wondered... If I create a Handle and then I HLock() it, does
that mean that I then need to HUnlock() it before I DisposeHandle() it, or
can I skip HUnlock() and just dispose it?

You could just dispose of it.

But don't bother using HLock/HUnlock or HSetState on Mac OS X. (Unless you know that someone is going to explicitly look at those bits.) The handle will not move or be purged on OS X.
