Example of Using the Here Scope
This example uses the Here scope to pass information between windows that are created by the same script.
Scoping a variable using Here: is not dependent on turning Names Default To Here() on. The Here:
scope is always available.
This script produces two windows and uses two different scopes.
The Launcher window asks the user for two values. Those two values are passed to the Output window,
which uses them to graph a function. The Launcher window scopes aBox and bBox to the window:
essentially, those two variables (pointers to Number Edit Boxes) exist only in the Launcher window and are
not available to the Output window. The values from those two boxes are then copied into variables that are
scoped to Here, and so are available to both windows that are produced by this script.
