===== SHARED ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     SHARED var1[, var2[, ...] ]
     SHARED "string1"[, "string2"[, ...] ]

==== PURPOSE ====

This keyword sets up a list of variables of a procedure that can be accessed from absolutely 
anywhere in your program.

There is a facility of using strings in procedure definitions. 
As with disc names, the "wild card" characters ''*'' and ''?'' can also 
be included. In this case, the ''*'' character is used to mean "match this 
with any list of characters in the variable name, until the next control 
character is reached", and the ''?'' character means "match this with any 
single character in the variable name". 

''GLOBAL'' or ''SHARED'' should be employed before the first use of the 
variable. Only strings may be used for this technique.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    SHARED test
    SHARED "a*", b, "*c"
