Yes, definitely, if it's part of an answer to a question about making globals
work. Now, Richmond may well want to learn about locals too, but I was just
answering the question he asked!
Touchy!
Actually, Colin, your advice about globals was more correct insofar as
it answered my question,
but Mark's was pedagogically more useful as I had 'forgotten' about locals
[ the truth of it is that ever since I discovered Hypercard and escaped
from the joys
of variable declaration (think BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL) I was unaware (or
unwilling
to think about the fact) that variables could be declared in xTalk
languages. Today,
mucking around with something that had to "stay there" between 2 handlers a
little bird at the back of my head started tweeting 'global' - it didn't
tweet 'local']
Big Thanks to both of you.
