Weird, huh ?   But it works.
Thanks. That makes some sort of sense. But Very Very Weird.

Not really different than any other stack. The message box is a separate stack with its own scripts. Whenever a global isn't declared in the script of another stack, we don't expect it to be recognized.

Yes, that's true of course. But it really limits the usefulness of the m.b. I keep wanting to use it to inspect the state of things -- as a central part of an overall debugging system -- and it doesn't easily work that way. I think it's counterintuitive for newcomers. It and the Variable Watcher, between them, are the closest we have to a debugger, so you think you can use it that way. Of course it isn't meant to be that. Instead we need a real debugging environment. Go Constellation!
