variable list? Global var confusion

Is there a way to see a list of all variables and current contents in a
stack? Some window/chart?
I think I'm misusing global variables.
I doing a set of timers, each on a different card. Being lazy,I copied
the first card and adjusted things, using the same global variables. I
used global as there are several buttons on each card that add to the
same set of variables/fields (on the same card)
Now I discover that I'm changing the variable contents in the other
cards as well.
My thoughts:
1. go through a hundred or so buttons and change the variable names (a
terrible thought) where ever they appear in the scripts
2. ?? move the declarations from outside the handlers to inside the
handlers?? This would be quicker as I wouldn't have to edit all the
scripts, just cut and paste.
What I think I want (but not sure) is a set of variables that work
'globally' on one card, for all the handlers on that card, but no other
card.
Oh, and I don't want to empty the variables till the program closes as
the user will want to print the cards (marked through a button on each
card) at the end of the session, just before quitting.
Peace,
John
