i'd store them in one property list, with the name of the global as the
property and the value of the global as the value in the list. then the
whole list can be global, and you can access the "globals" within with
globalNeeded = gGlobalsList[#whichGlobal]
and then there's only one global; the list.
(the list can even be stored in an object that acts as a data manager,
with the manager a global object, and the list a property therein.)
and i always like storing values in fields too, it makes them easier to
change and find then if they are buried in scripts, but i'd still store
it in the field as a big list, and read in that list as the global as
described above...
