> How do you carry a global variable from one stack to a substack? If you set a global variable in the main stack:
on preOpenStack global gMyName put "Mike" into gMyName end preOpenStack then in any card in any substack you can retrieve the value like so: on openCard global gMyName answer gMyName --you will see "Mike" end open Card In other words, nothing needs to be done to "carry" a global variable from one stack to another. All you have to do is declare it with the word "global" in front.
