Clearly Rev and HC work differently with regard to IT.
I'm not sure, Richard, that an example that gets a string -- a perfecty
legal but bizarre-seeming use of the get command to me -- really
demonstrates globalness or the lack thereof.
Having said that, I elaborated a bit on your example just
I think the real complication in the use of IT is less in its scoping than
in the fact that it's kind of a garbage variable that the system uses in
ways that aren't always predictable. Some operations return a value in IT
and others return a value in the result and, IIRC, sometimes you can get

This all sounds well and good, but I seriously doubt RunRev has any

Likewise, RunRev providing it's own PDF viewer implementation would be

time to provide

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find tht RR is doing exactly as you
