Hmmm.  Try the following code on a watchlist with > 1 symbol.  I don't
see evidence of persistence from VarSet/VarGet.

///////////////////////////////
Buy=Sell=0;
Filter=Status("barinrange");
AddColumn( C, "Close" );
fi		=	"%1.0f";
Trace = True;
Vname = "TestVar";

if ( i = VarGet( Vname ) )
{
	_TRACE( "got i = " + StrFormat( fi, i ) );
}
else
{
	_TRACE( "did not get a value for i from varget" );
	VarSet( Vname, 1 );
}
