[OT] Why would it be a pain?

IT is global in HC (although curiously it doesn't show in the HC variable 
watcher). you still have to declare it as a global within a script to use it 
(same as any other global in HC or Rev.)

my point is that when you are out in the message box it is available to you. 
as soon as you put something in it, or use a call like answer, you can 'put 
it' and get the contents. in rev you first have to say 'global it' if you want 
to try and use it from the message gox.

try this in HC msg box ...

get "stuff"
put it

... you get 'stuff' in HC but in Rev you get 'it'


my point is not to match HC but rather to be able to type things into the 
message box, like answer folder, and be able to get at the contents of it without 
having to try and remember to type global it before i make the answer call. 
that's it my friends!
