I think you will find that static has a slightly different meaning. If you
wish to limit a procedures scope to the current Module/Class/Source File
then the procedure need only be defined as Private. Static means that the
code persists even when the module is out of scope. This holds true for
variable definitions. A variable defined within a module or procedure will
persist through to the next call of the module or procedure. I am not so
sure with procedures. It would make sense for static to mean that the
procedures code remains in memory rather then being released when the module
is released. Can anyone verify this to be the correct behaviour for a static
procedure.
