Tomasz,

To clarify my understanding (and perhaps help others as well):

1) The upgrade of StaticVarSet/Get now allows arrays, previously only numbers and strings.
2) StaticVarSet allows one to store an array and then retrieve this via StaticVarGet similar to 
a) Foreign (ATC), EXCEPT that this works globally, 
b) VarGet (VarSet), EXCEPT that this works locally only

If this is correct, how "semi-global" are they stored: not only "in view" for indicators, but also "once viewed" (i.e. updated) per session?
