Hi, Bob. Here's one way of doing it. In the first call, pIndex is
empty, so some initialization is performed. The parameters are all
passed with each recursive call, but pSame is always the same value.

on mouseUp
test "12345", 1, 99
end mouseUp
command test pData, pChange, pSame, pIndex
if pIndex is not an integer then
put 1 into tpIndex
put "first time" & LF into msg
end if
put char pIndex of pData after pData
put pIndex ^ 2 into pChange
add 1 to pIndex
put pData & ", " & pChange & ", " & pSame & ", " & pIndex & LF after msg
if length(pData) < 10 then
test pData, pChange, pSame, pIndex
end if
end test

Hi all. This is my first foray into recursive functions. There are two
variables I would like to be persistent for as long as the script is running,
but I want them to be empty the first time I call the recursive function. I
have tried declaring the variables as local, but each time the function calls
itself, the variables are wiped as though a new set is made. If I declare them
as global, then of course the value persists even after the last recursion
terminates. The function has no idea if it is the first time through or one of
the iterations. Any idea how to get around this?
