Oops, geez, I was spacing last night.  That didn't even occur to me.  I just
got THINK Pascal 3.0, and thought I'd look up "global" in the index.  I found
the section, as it pertained to code resources, and merely spewed forth what
I read there.

My original thinking was that since THINK Pascal supports globals in DAs
(which, correct me if I'm wrong, MPW does not), then it probably would allow
the same in a code resource.  Well, the section I typed in indicated that it
didn't support NORMAL globals, but that you could nest the procedures.  I
didn't even think about the fact that it would probably also work in just
about any other Pascal or C.

Sorry.
