You create a script local variable by using the local command in a script, outside any handlers in the script.
(pasted from transcript dictionary)
So I'm still not convinced that it must be in a handler, or if so then the documentation is misleading.

Howdy,
I'm declaring some local variables at the top of a card script that I
need to use in several handlers... here is a simplified recipe question
that will help me understand why I'm not able to access the values I'm
assigning to them:
--card script begins here
local rotAngle put 20 into rotAngle
on mouseUp answer rotAngle end mouseUp
--
My question is, why does this not put up an answer dialog with "20" in it? the dialog that comes up is empty.
It comes up empty because nothing can ever cause 'rotAngle' to be set. Any
executable code not inside a handler can never be executed.
