Sharing Variables within a Widget [message #8453]

To anyone who can help me,

I'm in the process of building my first widget program and now I'm at
an impass. This is how my widget is presently srtuctured:

-> Function 1
-> Function 2
-> PRO, Event
-> PRO (main)

Function 1 and 2 have no widgets, they are called upon to make
calculations on data set. Function 1 requires additional information
calculated in Function 2 (i.e. the data Func. 1 requires is not part of
the Return from Function 2). Since Functions can only return 1 "thing,"
I would like to store information, calculated in Function 1 and 2, into
the top event, so that I may call upon the information in other
functions or procedures which are not widgets. For example, in the PRO
event, I can call up information stored in a structure from the PRO
main, by typing:
Widget_control, event.top, Get_UValue=info
All the info I need can be accessed in the structured called "info,"
but when I do the same thing in Function 1 and 2, it doesn't work.
I hope this is making sense, I'm still the learning process.

Thanks to anyone who's willing to help.

John
