Hi John,

I don't think the global variables are placed into registers, they need to
have an address in memory.

Try the following piece of code with the Debugger on.

begin globals
dim gWhaterver&, gThisToo%
end globals
local fn test
dim as long a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n
end fn
fn test
do
handleevents
until fn button

the Debugger indicates which of the variables go into a register, you will
notice that none of the global variables is placed into a register although
defined first.

Cheers
