Slava, sorry to be so abrupt. There are three main categories of variables.
global - must be declared in every script that wants to "subscribe" to it, outside of handlers script local - declared and used only in the script it's contained by, outside of handlers handler local - declared and used only within a handler, cleared on next use any of these can be arrays. sqb On 9 July 2011 23:06, stephen barncard <stephenrevoluti...@barncard.com>wrote: > Why are you putting the global for the substack inside a handler? globals > don't live there.
