that's a
different function. 'global' applies only to the function it's used in.

Probably because the MSN variable in the second function is not global.

Why should line 6 fail until line 7 is commented out?
Python complains that MSN is "referenced before assignment".
def ReadTheEQfile():
global MSN
MSN = ("1 Monitor") #This line works every time.
def EditTheEQlist():
print("MSN2 = " + MSN) # Works if the next line is commented out.
MS
