 Dynamic Scoping

     (variable) A method of determining an item's existence or visibility
     based on the state of a program during execution.  Example: A CA-Clipper
     public variable may or may not be visible within a particular function,
     depending on whether the variable has been created and whether a
     previously called function has obscured it by creating a private
     variable with the same name.
