[clean-list] output of startIO

[Arjen van Weelden]

I'm no expert, but I don't think that there is a civilized way to do 
that. If you want global variables (shudder), you could take a look at 
the Heap module of the Clean compiler source.

Or you could join the Dark Side... <thunder and lightning effects> I 
could show you how to create a global variable using a CAF, a type cast, 
and creating *World out of thin air. <evil laughter>

regards,
