I just want to put my vote in for *not* requiring declarations of all variables.
While I can see reasons for wanting to do this, I have to say that one thing
(among many) which makes HyperTalk accessible to "the rest of us" is the
ability to grab a new variable at a moment's notice and use it in a script.
Top-down programming is fine (nay, necessary) for major projects which are
done all at once, but bottom-up is more in the spirit of an "erector set
for applications".
