If you take a look at TASTRADE example, they Created a general application class based on a custom control in TSGEN and based on this class they created a tastrade class.

If you have public variables to be used for all applications add these variables as properties to the main class 'Application Class' such as UserName and if you have public variables to be used only for particular application add it to the subclass 'Tastrade Class'.

In your main prg file create one public variable 'oApp' to run the subclass, so you can refer to all properties you added by using this variable for example 'oApp.UserName, oApp.cDatabase'

I Hope this will help.
