Is it called "Duck Typing" when Ruby figures out the variables as it goes along?That totally rocks. I only declare things as I need them in my scripts, and if my tests didn't run sequentially I would be totally screwed. =)

I though test rigs that drove IE had the extra burden of building and

Thanks for the replies! I had tried what Dara suggested and it did not
work. Well the lesson is that if you do not type the variable names
correctly it will never work!
Dara - Thanks for forcing me to peer review my code! :0)
Also thanks for the other replies.

Define/assign all your global variables in setup.rb, like this:
$foo = 'bar'
At the top of each of your tests, do this:

Good afternoon:
I am looking for a means to set some global variables and pass them on to
other scripts. I was attempting to set some global variables in a file
similar to the "all_test.rb" or the "setup.rb". I would like all scripts
called from setup.rb to use these global variables. It i
