Global vars avail from a c-style function?

[David Spencer]

I want to have a "c-style" function that refers
to a "global" variable. The following
code fragment fails with the msg "Undefined class 'o'" if I have a "o.println()" line
in foo(). If I use System.out then it's ok.

Is there some way for a function like this to
refer to global vars?

o = System.out;

void foo()
{
        o.println( "doesn't work"); // dj error
    System.out.println( "ok");  // works fine
}
