Actually, if the application object is declared in the startup
program, it can be scoped to Private. But in essence, it is a global
reference, in that any object in any context can reference it.
I like having this one global reference simply so that I can simplify
inter-object messaging. If objects need to send a message to each
other, there are only three intermediaries I use: This.Parent,
Thisform, and goApp.
