It seems appropriate that the Message Box shows all globals, since 
they're global in scope and available to every script running during the 
session.

The IDE itself shows only a very few globals, so I'm assuming the ones 
you're seeing are for your own stacks, yes?

If so, one solution might be to consider using arrays, where you store 
values for a given stack as elements in a single global.

Another might be to reconsider the need for such globals, perhaps opting 
for script-local variables for those values only needed by a single script.
