Am I to understand the above to mean:

By default, all variables and functions are defined in the
global or public namespace??

If that's the case, what is the purpose of the "public" qualifier?
Perhaps to force a private identifier to go public? lol ....

Thanks!!

And I hope the American S-Lang contingent had a great "turkey day"!!
