Yes, I do understand what globals are and why one may want to use them. I do actually use them, albeit sparingly. My conceptual problem here is with the persistence of global variables in the IDE once the stack or suite of stacks that used them has been purged from memory. In your example, can you think of a reason for the "find" string to persist after you have closed the suite of stacks that initialized and used the find handler and you've gone on to work on another project? -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
