Hi Mark

Not true. Except, of course, if your programming discipline is a mess.

When did you last program an app where "any routine" just like that sets "some" global variable? It's not happening here.

Au Contraire....use sparingly at best:

"they dramatically increase the costs of
maintaining an application. After all, when you find a bad value in a global
variable, that value could have been placed in the variable from any routine
in the application. Thats a lot of code to debug"
