Another word for static.  I pretty much always use static.

And the answer is "it depends" <grin>.  If you specify the word STATIC 
on a variable in a procedure, it is indeed static.

However, there is now an additional wrinkle added with the 
multithreading capabilities of 6.1 (yes, I'm trying to use the new 
naming conventions for the OS as well), as to whether the scope of a 
static variable is across threads or not.
