>OOish way is to create 'application' object based on custom class with set of properties and methods. These properties will work as FPW public variables and methods will perform role of system procedures.

another thing you can do (writing an application object is recomended but this is regarding the "public vars") is to create a cursor (or use a table) that will hold such things and have each class check for the availability of this table and update internal properties to the values there (if the table exist )
