You are correct.
global, script local, handler local

Some on this list have adopted naming conventions to make this clear in
their code what their intentions are:

gVarname = global
tVarname or lVarname or hVarname= handler local  ( t = temporary)
sVarname or lVarname = script local
pVarname = parameter passed to the handler
@Varname = the reference form used let a handler know the memory location
rather than make a copy of a large variable

I am sure there are many others, as we all adopt our own precise conventions
steeped in wisdom :-)
