Global Variables
How do they work?
Global variables seem to be set up in four-banks of (up-to) 16 variables each in Edit/Global Info, the Edit Database and Global Variables in the Database Type pull-down menu, thus allowing a maximum of 64 global variables. For each of the four banks you choose the number of variables.
Assuming that I set each of the four to having two each:
- Are the valid GV indices: 0,1, 16,17, 32,33 48,49 ?
- What happens if I read/write to an invalid GV?

Flow Control and nextState
The nextState modifier of an instruction is ignore for all instructions other than the first in the sequence. How does this work with the various Flow-Control instructions, say &J*. Does the DSA keep the same state it was in (assuming no &SETNEWSTATE instructions in the called routine)?
