Reset Locals?

Hi Scott.

First, I love local variables!

I typically use them a lot in libraries, because they reset themselves
when you quit and restart. But, while editting scripts, I typically
put a checkLocals handler at the beginning of most handlers which use
them.

Something like:

on checkLocals
   if lWhatTimeIsIt is "" then
      initLocals
   end if
end checkLocals

Then, if I need to access a local from outside the script, I use:

function altReturnLocal pLocal
  do ("return " & pLocal)
end altReturnLocal
