I thought I had global and local definitions figured out but just came across another gotcha (I think).
It seems that globals are global to any main stack currently in memory. If I have global gXYZ defined in stack file A, then open stack file B which also has a global defined for gXYZ, whatever is done to gXYZ within stack file A will affect its contents in Stack file B and vice versa. Do I have that right? Assuming I do, I guess that came as a surprise to me for some reason. I would not have expected globals to cross stack file boundaries but I guess they are truly global! Not a huge deal now that I know about it, just have to be careful when naming globals that I want to be local (?) to a stack file.
