There's no need to assign null (or equivalent) to a local variable,
but there is a point to assigning that to globals because otherwise
they never get cleared until you unload JAWS. That said, I often
forget to include in my AutoFinishEvents the clearing of globals,
unless there's a functional reason they need to be cleared, such as
when they're hanging onto a huge COM object, like a copy of Word for
example.

Hi John,
Sorry about the delay in answering. In VBScript itself, there is an
object called Nothing, which can be assigned to any object to free all of
the resources which have previously been assigned to that object. Having
the object oNull with essentially no contents is the analogous formulation
in Jaws scripting. I'm not sure that anyone outside FS knows enough about
how Jaws script is implemented to be sure whether this freeing of resources
actually happens, but what harm can it do to try?
Corrections welcome,
Martin
