Check or uncheck Edit/Variable Checking menu item when a script is open.

Many benefits:
In my experience for having worked with and without explicit vars, I  
find that variables declaration provides a real and welcome safeguard  
against errors and mispellings.
It points out an error as soon as I compile and save my life instead  
of having to debug 100 lines :-)
