I just wrote a Deteminator to capture xplhvision reporting a variable and
save it to an xpl global , i changed the value of the variable  in the
control menu of hv....and the xpl global was updated each time .....Are you
looking at the Globals Screen when xplhvision reports the var...?? if so
you
need to click on the refresh icon to update the globals....
