I'm not sure "it" is global in HC, at least not in any normal sense of
what global usually means.
I just made two buttons on my HC Home stack -
-- Button 1:
on mouseUp
get "hello world"
end mouseUp
-- Button 2:
on mouseUp
put it
end mouseUp
When I click Button 1 and then click Button 2, the Message Box contains
"it", not "hello world" as we would expect if "it" were global.
If I add global declarations for "it" in both handlers, it does work as
expected, but then I believe the same is true for Rev.
