SteveMcNeill 33adc04fc4 Add temp folder to repo. It's necessary as well!
Just more initial setting on... nothing much to see here.

The '''SHARED''' statement allows variables to be passed automatically to any [[SUB]] or [[FUNCTION]] procedure.
{{PageSyntax}}
:: DIM SHARED Qt AS STRING * 1
* [[DIM]]ensioned variables are shared with all procedures in the program module.
* When used with [[DIM]] in the main module, it eliminates the need to pass a parameter variable to a [[SUB]] or [[FUNCTION]].
* Use [[COMMON SHARED]] to share a list of variable values with sub-procedures or other modules. See also: [[COMMON]]
* SHARED ('''without [[DIM]]''') can share a list of variables inside of [[SUB]] or [[FUNCTION]] procedures with the main module only.
:'''Note: SHARED variables in sub-procedures will not be passed to other sub-procedures, only the main module.'''
''Example 1:'' Defining variable types with [[AS]] or type suffixes.
