DeleteBitmap(BitmapHandle)
DeleteBitmap removes a previously created bitmap
from memory. Bitmaps can be voracious in terms of
RAM resources, and freeing some RAM will help other
programmes and your own go faster.
A bitmap eats 1 byte per pixel (that's 64Kb for
a 320 * 200 bitmap) plus 768 bytes for the palette.
Freeing bitmaps is always a good idea when you're done
with them!
Remaining bitmpas are freed automatically when your
Aptilis program finishes.
Return Value:
0, or -1 if the handle was incorrect.
