RE: Scoping variables
I have never run into the problems directly as I never explicitly use the variables scope. However, I have seen emails on this list and others about the problems. Unfortunately, the best I can do is tell you to search the archives.

Such as? I'm not that up on the bug tracking front. I'm interested to know what issues exist in this area. Thanks. J.

No, you don't have to explicitly reference the Variables scope, either when creating or referencing local variables. However, it's considered by many to be a good idea, since it removes any potential ambiguity about exactly what variable you're talking about.
