Helper functions and global variables

[David Allen]

Hello,
I'm new to e-prime and the last time I did visual basic was 7 years
ago. I am, however, an experienced programmer. Unfortunately I'm stuck
using e-prime on a vista machine, which breaks the help (where I'm
certain I could find the answers to my questions).

How does one go about defining helper functions (functions in an
inline script that can be referred to anywhere in the project) and
global variables (the same but in variable form)? I found the visual
basic syntax for each and tried to just use it inside an inline script
but the compiler threw errors like "Found: Function Expected:
<statement>" for

function foo as integer
return 1
end function

Any help or pointers to good resources besides the help file will be
much appreciated.

Thanks, David
