I think it runs in the same thread as it was called in, but 
that's a good insight. With your help, I got it working (just 
pushed to the same file if you're interested).

Thanks for the insight about shared and __gshared, I just read 
about those today. I think I may do that anyway, because I'll end 
up working with multiple threads, and having access to it would 
be nice.
