Global Misbehaving

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Gregory,

The following script is slightly less verbose and uses the effective  
filename (see Klaus' message). Make sure to put this script at card  
level and not at stack level.

on openStack
   global dataFilePath,partsFilepath
   -- set some relative file paths
   set the itemDel to slash
   put (item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack) & \
     "/Data/" into dataFilePath
   go stack "Another Stack" --> sends an openStack message!
end openStack

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
