Hi Pete, if you declare a variable "global",the variable IS GLOBAL FOR ANY STACK and is "*persistent*". This means that the variable and its value exist regardless of the stack that created. If you liketo see do just a simple test ... ... create a stack and from this stack create a "global"

It's definitly true if you want to refer to it as a global when the script runs, I agree. But I got the impression from Mark's post that perhaps the compile process (or I guess more correctly the Apply process) recognises globals that have been defined in other scripts and not in the current one,

I don't think that is true Pete. I think you DO have to define a global, either in the script or in the handler in order for it to be treated as such. What is causing the shadow variable glitch I don't know. I personally don't like using strict compile, but I understand it's really a personal
