 This should work in all versions
(I use 'z' for my globals so they get listed at the bottom of variable
watcher)

local sTempp, sNotTempp
global zPerm, zTempp

on test
  put "data" into zPerm
  put "data" into zTempp
  put "data" into sTempp
  put "data" into sNotTempp
  put  sTempp&cr& sNotTempp&cr&zTempp&cr& zPerm
end test

on clearThings
  clear local sTempp
  clear global zTempp
  delete variable zPerm  --actually deletes it
--however, then next script that declares it recreates it
--if the other scripts do not declare the global, it does
--not appear in variable watcher

  put  sTempp &cr& sNotTempp &cr& zTempp &cr& zPerm
  
end clearThings
