Yep, I think you are missing something VERY basic.

Globals are just that, they exist forever until you explicitly delete them. That's how they've always worked in all Xtalks I've ever used.

You of course have a choice whether to use them or not. I, enjoy using them as I find they have many 'upsides' versus custom properties (I use them too). I especially like the fact they don't persist between application launches.

Of course, if like others, you smartly name your globals with a 'g' prefix, you will never have the 'collision' problem you describe, as like-named locals can also be prefixed with 'l'.

best,

Chipp

In other words, if I'm foolish enough to declare a "global x" in a
piece of test code, why should that continue to haunt me when I dump
my test stack and then open a completely different stack that happens
to have a "local x" declaration in it? Am I missing something basic?
