Hello, I am creating a program that makes use of several globals. The globals are long and don't hang around too long. I know i can put empty into them at the end to avoid storing the data, but is there a way to make HyperCard (2.0 of course) forget them? I couldn't find any thing in the manual except how to create/reuse globals. Any ideas? Thanks much in advance (as usual!) J.R. or just R hughson@cis.ohio-state.edu or jhughson@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu

From the Stack Description: GlobalMaster stack by Frdric RINALDI This stack contains two XCMDs which allow to easily purge all global variables created by the stack. They work only with HyperCard 2.0. SaveCurrentGlobals 1.0 DESCRIPTION ------------ SaveCurrentGlobals saves the list of current active globals. SaveCurrentGlobals must appear in the "on openStack" handler before any global variable setting. The XCMD creates a global named GlobalVarsList which will be used later by ClearStackGlobals XCMD. ClearStackGlobals 1.0 DESCRIPTION ------------ ClearStackGlobals purges all global variables created since call to SaveStackGlobals. I haven't used these myself yet, so I can't vouch for them. Neale

In a previous post I describe the XCMD's from Rinaldi: Sorry, I meant to add that I don't know where you can get these from. I got them from a friend. I could possibly mail them, or post them to comp.binaries.mac if there is a demand. Neale PS Does anyone have the latest version of Rinaldi's "Textoid". The one I have is 1.8, but I hear there is a 2.1?? out there somewhere.
