Breakpoints on a Global

[Bob Sneidar]

Ok I see. When I first clicked next to the variable it was not a global so  that is why when I declared it to a global later it didn't CTD. I went back and checked the watch point and it's scope was the script of the stack. When I set it's scope to global, LC immediately crashes. Sorry for the confusion.
