Steve, In C, if you declare a static variable within a module (vs a declaration within a function)…they are 'visible' to any function within that module, but 'invisible' to any functions outside that module. If you declare a static variable within a function, it is 'visible' only within that function (as are all other local variables). I know nothing about Modula-2, so don't know if this matches or doesn't their use of static variables. Don
