Monte's reply seems to do the job, but if you're concerned about the 
numeric format, try

on mouseUp
    put 10.1 into gGlobal1
    put 20.2 into gGlobal2
    put 30.3 into gGlobal3
    put format("%2.1f*%2.1f/cos(%2.1f)", gGlobal1, gGlobal2, gGlobal3)
end mouseUp

or just chang that last line to
    put format("%s*%s/cos(%s)", gGlobal1, gGlobal2, gGlobal3)
if you *really* don't care about the format
