Also, I don't know if the OP was a noob, but telling people (especially noobs) that if they can't figure out how to solve a problem without using a "global variable" then that must be down to inexperience and general cluelessness on their part just seems wrong to me. It simply isn't true.

Then what is right and what is true?
