The only reasons I can think of to avoid globals in HyperCard are: - You can't delete a global after use (though you can put empty into it to free up the memory it uses) - Namespace problems, in that two handlers might want to use a global of the same name for different purposes The first one doesn't apply in Revolution, since there's a command (delete variable) to delete a global completely. The second might still be a problem, although it rarely seems to cause a collision in practice. -- Jeanne A. E.
