Re: Issue in ConvertHandleIndexToHandle and ConvertHandleToHandleIndex

["Carsey, Jaben" <jaben.carsey@intel.com>]

In general, you should really try to avoid it.  it means you have to build and distribute a complete shell instead of a single application.  There are some shell commands that simply cannot function without information not available via the shell protocol.  If you find you need information, then maybe we should consider that missing information to be added to the shell protocol.
