If I am interpreting the script correctly, it will identify & remove any RR
& MC engine globals; but it will NOT identify globals declared by any other
handler that has run since the main application opened.  In addition, it
will not list stack globals unique to any stack handler(s) that has not run.

If you want a comprehensive list of all stack globals, I can see no way of
producing one except to write a handler to read through all scripts of all
objects in the stack and build a table based on the "global" statements it
encounters.

I'm puzzled as to why this would be needed...globals are declared
application-wide; so I would want to be aware of all possible conflicting
(or cooperative) uses of the same global name whether used in the existing
staxk or not.
