So your scripts can use them. For example, it is common for scripts to 
retrieve the $HOME global and other path-related info. It is standard 
practice to retrieve the $# global in standalones so that you can 
operate on its parameters. LiveCode doesn't discriminate or presume to 
know which globals your stacks will need, it just gets them from the OS 
and gives you access. I think you'd hear a lot of squawking if that 
capability were removed.
