[Tutor] scoping oddity

[Michael.Coll-Barth@VerizonWireless.com]

Ziyad,

Thanks for the tip.  Much of the code written here in my office, do exactly
what you describe.  The code I am working on is purely personal and
educational.  I guess I got sloppy, which in a way is educational.  

All,

Obviously, you can't put every variable on the 'def' line.  Is there a
utility of some sort that will present me with a list of the variables used
in an application?  Preferably, something that might pick up possible scope
'collisions'?  If you know what I mean.  And if that isn't the right word,
what is?

thanks guys!
Michael
