Global variables can be easily abused, but are not inherently evil. If
that's the best way of doing it (and from what little you say it looks
like it), go ahead.
Only advice would be to hide it as much as possible. Use a variable
declared in the .m file and access it from '+' functions in a class you
define. That way you become independent from its implementation which
is a Good Thing.

Is it bad form to use a global dictionary for such a purpose? What is
the 'established' way to do such a thing in Cocoa?
