I don't know BASIC, but VAX DIBOL uses:
GLOBAL COMMON variable-name
to define a variable common across routine, and ordinarily in the main
program. It then uses:
EXTERNAL COMMON variable-name
to make reference to the same memory location as the one defined by
global common. My first guess is that it is close to the same in BASIC.
Good luck with your project.
