So I ran the stack and first typed "put gHeightScaler" and it output
gHeightscaler. Then I typed in " global gHeightScaler; put
gHeightScaler" and it output the correct value of gHeightScaler.

So this means that, for some reason, even though it's right there in
my handler, the variable gHeightScaler isn't being initialized as a
global. Why?

Did you happen to try this simple handler? I'm just curious if my
system is hexed or whether this is repeatable by others.
