I'm having a problem with the extern keyword.  I'm doing a multi-file
project in RHIDE, and I'm declaring something I want all the functions
to be able to acess above my main and then in the other files declairing
it the same way with the extern keyword before it.  The problem is that
the variables are all equal to 0 when I use extern, but they have values
in them in main. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.  Here's an
example of what I'm doing:

extern Sprite sprite;                        //sprite being a tydefined
structure
