The "Global" command is not mentioned in the DBPro or DB manual or updated manuals?

I take it means that a variable after the command "global" means that the variable is use throughout the whole program?

Aren't the variables global to start with?

Is there anywhere to get a Word document version of the updated darkbasic command set?

What does this Global command do?

Global makes variables global - I think its used inside functions to make variables global.

Good news everybody! I really am THAT good...

in other languages the variables inside functions are always local to the function containing it. if a variable is declared to be global then the functions share that variable with the rest of the program.
