Stack Level Local/Globals

[Dave Cragg]

Hi Eric

You're right of course (and Richard too). But it's useful to know for  
those times when you do need to access custom properties frequently.

As you pointed out, one of the advanatges of custom properties is  
their persistence when a stack is saved. And one of the advantages of  
globals is their lack of persistence.  I usually need both types of  
properties in any app. So I like Dennis' suggestion for "stack  
globals", which would add more useability and reliability than  
standard globals. (But I think we are in agreement on this.)


Cheers
Dave
