Weirdness with global variable declaration

[Mark Wieder]

Doug-

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

You're missing the point here. The global declarations are the only
thing outside the handler. the "put" statement is still *inside* the
openCard handler. Global declarations don't actually get executed, so
there's no question of when.

The difference is that in declaring the global variables outside of
the handler you're widening their scope, making them available to
everything in the current object, and removing the need to redeclare
them in each handler that might need them.
