Weirdness with global variable declaration

[Jeremy Smith]

Instead of doing this

on openCard
global debugMode
global inChatUsers, newChatSocket
global chatRect, chatRectHalf, wbRect
put "8,8,596,314" into chatRect
....

do this

global debugMode
global inChatUsers, newChatSocket
global chatRect, chatRectHalf, wbRect
on openCard
put "8,8,596,314" into chatRect
...

Then you can access the globals from all the handlers (opencard/closecard) 
etc...

Cheers.
