Does AllowGlobal cause Subs to malfunction?

Hi all:

I have found that when I include the AllowGlobal declaration in minivend.cfg
existing Subs in catalog.cfg malfunction.  I have been able to reproduce
this problem easily.  When I put

AllowGlobal usx00

 in minivend.cfg, all but the last previously existing and correctly working
Subs in catalog.cfg return $0.00.  These are the Subs I use to calculate
shipping costs, and are referenced through shipping.asc.  Defining a global
sub in minivend.cfg does not seem to have any effect on the malfunction.  I
first thought that my global sub was to blame so I removed it.  Currently I
do not have a global sub defined, not even the test global sub.  I find that
it is a simple case of "If I don't use AlllowGlobal usx00 my shipping is
calculated correctly.  If I use it only the last shipping cost defined is
correct".  I say 'defined' here because only the last defined Sub will
return a non-zero value.  I have experimented with moving the order of the
Sub definitions and it is always the last one to be defined that works,
while all other return zero, regardless of the order in SHIPMODE.

Anyone else have this problem, or know of a fix?  Getting a global sub to
work is turning into a vocation for me.  8-)


Cheers,
Gerard
