Yes, so long as it is *outside* of all handlers, it becomes "script-local";
that is, avaialble to all handlers in the script. For example:

local sMyVar

on mouseUp
  put 10 into sMyVar
end mouseUp

on DoIt -- called from somewhere else
  answer sMyVar
  -- answers "10"
end DoIt

If you put the local *inside* of a handler, it is local only to that
specific handler.
