This should be simple!

Len:

There's probably something else going on in your script.  When I place the
following in a button, I get the result I believe you want:

global gSaveInputPath
on mouseUp
   put true into gSaveInputPath
   send "testValue" to me in 1 second
end mouseUp

on testValue
  if gSaveInputPath then
    answer "Yes, it's true"
  else answer "Something's wrong"
end testValue

Checking gSaveInputPath from the message box also shows true.
