Static variables in VBS?

Hi,

Coming from a 'proper' (gonna get flamed for that one, I can feel it :)
programming language background I was just wondering if there was any way to
have a static (or persistent) local variable in a VBScript sub or function

Thanks
Dave

No... Does that mean VBScript isn't a "proper" programming language ;-)???

Yeah I know, but that would have been useful :(
Another global variable to the ever mounting list...

Just out of interest can it be done in VB?

VB/VBA both support static variable declarations in procedures...
