Yes, this is absolutely true. "Version" is the only predefined global. Een
after using "clearGlobals", it is still shown when you do:
showGlobals
See page 23 of LiaN (free online).
FYI, you can also check out
the productVersion
and
the environment
Those don't need to be declared as globals.
FYI, "the productVersion" returns a string without the word "net" appended
and therefore differs from "version" in Shockwave.
