Hi Kurt!

apart from religion - I was just wondering what the advantage might be of
using a property in this case.

I seem to be using much more globals than you guys do. I've often asked
myself if I was missing something.

Please explain!

Thanks

Actually, you don't have to give gIncre an initial value, though it's
probably good practice to do so. Lingo is fairly loosely scripted. Also,
there's another alternative - make gIncre a property. The choice between
property and global mainly depends on your goals and/or religion.

property pIncre

on mouseUp
  pIncre=pIncre+2
  put pIncre
end
