Watching my Variables

[Pat Trendler]

Martin,
 Yes, it certainly wouldn't work in your example. The global would have to 
exist in the first place to have a value even if it was empty.

I'm interested in how you are using 'do' here. Is the saved file a rev stack 
with the globals stored as custom properties, or is it a txt file. How do 
you use the 'do'?

I ran into a similar problem trying to save and recall a file for the
program I am writing.  The thing is I want my standalone to be able to
open a saved file and along with data it should restore the values of
all the global variables.  So the way I though of is to store the
globalnames together with their values in the save file.  And to open
a file and restore the values of global vars I use the 'do' form as
expressed by Dennis.  In such a case the method used by Pat would not
work (of course it can be used for other purposes).

The documentation says that 'do' is quite slow as it compiles in real
time.  Its not too slow for me but I'm not loading a terribly big
file.

Just thought I'd show another way of doing this. I always get mixed up with
where to put the "" when using those "do" things.

put "     " & value(item x of varNames) & cr after tList
