Bug? accessing LOCAL var in shared scope

[Snorre]

Hello lenborje,

I think you shouldn't use LOCAL outside functions.
To my knowledge there are 3 types of variables:
a: LOCALs inside functions: only accessible and existent within the function.
b: global (in program context) but not EXPORTed: only accessible within the program, but keeping their value even if the program is left (a kind of private vars).
c: EXPORTed: accessible from everywhere and also keeping their value.

The first type has to be declared inside a function, the last two types have to be declared outside functions:

EXPORT c;
b;
myFunction() BEGIN LOCAL a; END;

Type b variables are a nice feature to preserve some program state without polluting the variable menu and without having to fear the user or another program may accidently set them to an invalid value.

Greetings
