Answer 1

You just need to declare the variable as global inside your function

supposedlyGlobalVariable := "blah"

ARoutine()
{
   global supposedlyGlobalVariable
   localVariable := "asdf"
   MsgBox, The global variable value is %supposedlyGlobalVariable%.  The local variable 
value is %localVariable%.
}
