No, Insert doesn't do any copying by default. In your current code,

thrown away by the default object insert code? why doesn't it properly
wipe it out since it is tossing the pointer into the bitbucket?
It can not make any assumption about your pointer. In theory your
collection could contain Integers that were simply casted to Pointers.
In that case a "disposing of the pointer's data" would be fatal!
i just gotta figure out the way that the search and such work as in if
they are returning pointers to the record or the record data itself...
pointers are still very alien to me :? :/
The methods return Pointers which you can cast to PTLERec. This you can
then access like a usual object (e.g. dereferencing, etc)
