Strict Compile Mode

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Mark,
Checked my global definitions and there were none for the variable in
question, but Guglielmo's suggestion worked for me.

However, this puts another little gotcha into the whole area of global
definitions.  Before starting to use strict compile mode, I've been bitten
by referring to a global var in a script and forgetting to define it as a
global so it was treated as a local.  But you seem to be suggesting that LC
is aware of the existence of a global var even if it's not defined in a
script?  If that's the case, then I wonder why it's necessary to define
them in any script that uses them instead of just once?
