Thanks, Larry.

That sorts the problem with getRichText() in my demo but I suspect more
leaks. I have a large program and it took a fair amount of ripping
apart to pin the problem down to getRichText()

.... but it still has more memory leaks :(

Maybe it's with getStream and putStream.

I'll be back.
