The global variable is a pretty standard programming concept. I'd think that you *would* want to use them in a beginning programming class. Of course, if the students already understand global vs local variables from other languages (or previous assignments in Rev), then introduce custom properties. I use global vars with my students for pretty much the same thing as Judy does. It's a beginning-beginning programming class, for 8th graders. - marty -- Marty Billingsley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
