It is the lifetime aspect of globals at issue here.  Scope and visibility
are compile-time concepts that cease to matter after the executable is
created.

Variables with global lifetime need storage locations while your program
executes.  The application launch code tells you (among other things)
whether Palm OS has bothered to provide you with such storage.

Somebody smarter than myself should field your second question...
