simple local variable question

[Christopher Mitchell]

Dar,

This seems to have helped.  Evidently although the script local 
variables are declared outside handlers, the put assignment is not 
evaluated so they must be initialized in the declaration if they need 
initial values.  If they were all dynamic values perhaps declaring at 
the top then immediately following with a set of initialization 
assignments in cardOpen.

Thanks very much.

Yours,
Chris
