Update a global when going to a stack as modal

[Mark Powell]

Hi Sarah:

Alas, I am declaring it in both place.  Have you done this specific thing
successfully in the past?

BTW, since I posted this message I have tried "sheet stack B" instead of "go
to stack B as modal" and it s.e.e.m.s to work, but I would prefer to use the
'as modal' method.

Are you sure you are declaring gFoo as a global in BOTH places?

I have a handler in stack A of the pseudo form below

The text that is put into the field on stack A is inevitably "Before".
However, if I immediately type 

  put gFoo into fld "Information"

the data that was collected in stack B is put into the field in stack A as
expected.  The global is populated as I would want, except it is as if line
3 above is run before line 2.  What is going on?  Can I not switch between
stacks and collect data?  Is there a workaround?
