AHA! This solves something that's been driving me crazy for weeks.
I would do a quick script for something and find that I'd always get
errors if I didn't declare all variables, including locals!!! The
docs say you don't *have* to declare locals....
That 'variable checking' thing was enabled by default....
Thanks, Mr. X
