What is a "handle"?

The description for @XResultSetForm says "Returns the result set handle currently in use by
the specified form."  What's a handle in this context?

A handle is the means of referencing what ResultSet you wish to work with. Think of it almost like the handle of a pan(Which you use to move the pan), or a CB handle(which you use to reference another person).

p.s. You get Bonus points if you name the ResultSet handles Bandit and Snowman!  Grin

Would that be from Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds as Bandit and Jerry Reed as Snowman?
