I inherited some code that has some "Global" constants defined:

Global Const xyz = "abc"

In searching the archives, I found a couple of discussions indicating
that "Global" is an older term and the current term is "Public".

Is there any more to it than that?

Is there any reason for me to go through the old code and replace all
occurrences of "Global" with "Public"?

Is there any downside to doing so?

The online Help is silent as far as I could tell.

Thanks

Even now that Google seems to be fulfilling that role nigh-universally, it's still not a panacea because searching doesn't guarantee you'll necessarily find the best resource - in a group like this, there are probably thousands of posts that mention "html" and "xhtml". ... Given that searching can be difficult and NG histories are often limited, and given that our time is precious and no one likes to have it wasted in rehashing material, I am more than happy to accept a pointer to a reference - specifications, documentation, past threads - as an answer. ...
