Why does this work on the command line

IDL> '!jeff', 38
IDL> print, !jeff

when this doesn't work as a pro?

pro test
defsysv, '!jeff', 38
print, !jeff
end

Were are trying to utilize a user-defined
system variable to contain a handle value,
but there is this problem of being able to
define the system variable inside the
application. So far, we can only get it
to work on the command line, although after
the system variable has been defined on the
command line then the application works fine.
How do you use "defsysv" in a program?
