    42     42   If the \fBvariable\fR command is executed inside a Tcl procedure,
    43     43   it creates local variables
    44     44   linked to the corresponding namespace variables (and therefore these
    45     45   variables are listed by \fBinfo vars\fR.)
    46     46   In this way the \fBvariable\fR command resembles the \fBglobal\fR command,
    47     47   although the \fBglobal\fR command
    48         -only links to variables in the global namespace.
           48  +resolves variable names with respect to the global namespace instead
           49  +of the current namespace of the procedure.
    49     50   If any \fIvalue\fRs are given,
    50     51   they are used to modify the values of the associated namespace variables.
    51     52   If a namespace variable does not exist,
    52     53   it is created and optionally initialized.

    54     55   A \fIname\fR argument cannot reference an element within an array.
    55     56   Instead, \fIname\fR should reference the entire array,
