Thank you, Hilmar. This is what I intend to do, have a different variable name for public and local. Hopefully the naming is not scattered in two many functions and changing will not be a huge task.

>function MyFunct
>local loMyApp
>loMyApp = createobj("MYAPPCLASS")
>return

>Note that the first letter indicates the scope - g for "global" (public, can't use "p" since it is the same letter as private), l for "local". The second letter indicates the type of the variable, here, "o" for object.
