You're right - it does (normally) mean that the variable you are trying
to declare shares a name with a previously declared variable.
No idea why you're getting it in this case.
Poor ideas :
- If you like, send me the script and I'll look to see if it fails here
- try it in an earlier (or later) version of LC
- change every occurrence to 't2' and see what happens.

Working on a script I've been using for some time, I just got a compilation error for the
local definition of a variable called "t1". The error was:
local: name shadows another variable or constant
The only meaning I can put to this is that I had already defined this variable
either as a local, global or constant in the current script - but searching the
script shows that I haven't. Also since I'm using explicit variables, when I
delete the (only) definition of t1, I get the usual error warning me the name
is undefined. So 'shadow' must mean something else.
I've tinkered around but I can't make the error go away.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Doubtless it's some kind of finger trouble.
TIA
