[snip script]
Variables defined at the top-level of a script do seem to be saved, (which
is pretty ridiculous, given that you cannot then access them when re-running
the script). Actually, I don't know why memory seems to be dynamic, I only
know that it only occurs with top-level variables.
Simply throw everything you do into handlers:
Main()
on Main()
-- stuff
Variables created in handlers unquestionably get "cleaned up" after
the handler has run it's course.
P.S. After a week of headache and no Internet access, I am finally in
my company's new downtown Philadelphia office. Would anyone in the
area like to "do lunch"? ;-)
