Yes, but why would anyone want to see them when debugging a script  
that doesn't refer to them? For example, if I have a button whose  
script is:

on mouseup
    global  gBeginTime
    put the time into gBeginTime
    put the date into tDate
end mouseup

When debugging this, I want to see the following variable list:

gBeginTime   11:24 PM
tDate  11/18/08

Instead I see a gigantic list of globals that have been called by  
other stacks (I am creating a very complex set of stacks that run my  
business.) Simply scrolling down from gBeginTime and tDate will take  
forever and it's really confusing because you click on the scrollbar  
and nothing happens for over 5 seconds, and you're not sure you  
clicked on the scrollbar, so you click again, and then when it  
finally scrolls, it's gone too far. It is a similar situation when I  
press the scroll arrows or drag the slider. With all of these globals  
listed, there are these long delays.
