Reset Locals?

It's quite simple: just add a getLocal function and a setLocat 
command to the script where the local is declared:

local myCoolVar

function getMy CoolVar
	return myCoolVar
end getMyCoolVar

on setMyCoolVar newValue
	put newValue into myCoolVar
end setMyCoolVar

 From elsewhere in the stack: send "setMyCoolVar"&&newValue to controlWithScript
