Upon more thought, I decided to change the local/global constant create 
routine i the next IDE release to work this way: There will be an 
IDE.cfg entry that indicates that controls when added to a project 
default to global or local. Global is the default unless user changes to 
local. The routines I added in Properties will override the local/global 
on a control by control basis. This allows those folks wanting mostly 
local controls to do less keying in Properties.

If anyone has more input on this issue, now is the time to speak up.
