I'm trying to fire a rule using in the LHS a global variable. Although I've
fixed HasLHS.java ,Jess 6.0b1 version, as reported in the answer of Steve's
e-mail,  Jess shows the message "First use of variable negated: ".
I've tried Jess 6.1a1 binary code too, but the only way that I've found
success is using local variable instead of global in the LHS.
The code is like that:

(deftemplate foo(slot id))
(defglobal ?*DJ1* = DJ1)

;(bind ?DJ1 ?*DJ1*)

(defrule teste
;?DJ_local <- (foo(id DJ1))
?DJ_global <- (foo(id ?*DJ1*))
=>
 (printout t "GLOBAL is" ?*DJ1* crlf)
 )

(reset)
(assert (foo(id DJ1)))
(run)

Sorry if this subject has been discussed before.

Thanks in advance,
Alceu
