You're right, Henrick. Internal is the default, not public. My bad. I think we're splitting hairs on public vs. public static. A public variable, static or otherwise, is available to any caller. Technically, you are probably right, because a public variable isn't available until an object is intantiated from the class. A public static variable belongs to the class, not the instance, though, so it is available without instantiating an object. In fact, I use public static variables for my custom messages--I have a CustomMessage class specifically for that purpose. Nonetheless, once instantiated, and public variable is global whether it is static or not. That fits my concept of global.
