this is getting confusing ...
Globals defined as such within a function seem available globally ... but as
I indicated earlier... not reliably.
According to the help files, there is no distinction between globals defined
within functions and variables initialized outside of functions.
Where did you see the distinction you mentioned?
Hope this thread resolves the "mystery" of globals.
