The only way I know to move/create the 'global' scope is store the variable
in a button, card or stack property, then refer to it the usual way

get the cpMyCoolStoredVarThatCanBeSavedWithTheStack of btn 2 of  ....

Once a handler dies, all the constructs supported by it should die.
As soon as I post this Ken or somebody will show there is a way that uses a
shell command + a DLL registry call + a libURL undocumented feature :-)
