Sorry,
	The above should have been:

BOOL free_off_some_memory(void)	{
	HText *to_be_free;

	to_be_free = getUnusedCachedDoc();

	if(to_be_free != NULL)	{
		HText_free(to_be_free);
		return(TRUE);
	}
	else	{
		/*	Free other memory if possible here.
		 */
	}

	return(FALSE);
}

I am trodden soil.
Dust covers my face.
Soles crush my nature
Revealing a hard empty space.
