Hello Stan,
Can you zip up all of your default.* files and attach them to a message
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? It sounds like there may be a global
variable of the same name, declared earlier in your script file. That is
just a shot in the dark, since a local declaration should override a global
declaration! Perhaps it has to be of the same type of variable, (i.e int,
string, handle, etc.), before the override takes place--which shouldn't be
happening!
Thanks,
Dennis Brown, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
