Quick Q on Types

Are Types always Global or do they have to be declared Global if you want that behaviour?

(And reconfirming Arrays are always Global, yes?)

Not quite sure what you're asking...

Type MyType
  Field X%, Y%
End Type

You can now create instances of MyType from anywhere in your program.

Var.MyType = New MyType

Var only exists in the main program (or the function in which it was declared).

Global Var.MyType = New MyType

Var can now be used anywhere in your program.

Does this help?

(And reconfirming Arrays are always Global, yes?)

Yup.

Yeah, I meant a specific type instance, not a type definition.
So, they are not Global by default. That's all I wnated to know. Thanks!

You asked if types are global.
That's like asking if integers are global.
