global <name of a variable>

Variables used within a message handler are normally local to that handler, and go away when the message has been handled.  This command defines a variable whose value is carried until you open another application or quit HyperCard.  Each script that uses the global must redeclare it within its script before using it.

on startUp
   global userName                 --get the current value
   put "Willy" into userName   --change it
end startUp
