Well I guess that's the point. We shouldn't be clearing globals that don'e "belong" to LC so why on earth is LC even trying to look at system globals that don;t belong to it?
So your scripts can use them. For example, it is common for scripts to retrieve the $HOME global and other path-related info. It is standard practice to retrieve the $# global in standalones so that you can operate on its parameters. LiveCode doesn't discriminate or presume to know which globals your stacks will need, it just gets them from the OS and gives you access. I think you'd hear a lot of squawking if that capability were removed.
