 OK.. I can see my use of "over-ride" is getting me into trouble here.
 Whatever you call it when a locally declared variable is used instead
 of a globally declared variable because of a scope ruling could cause
 a problem.  Thats all I wanted to say.  I appologize to all who may
 have been confused by my less than perfect use of the word override.
