This practice is to be *STRONGLY* discouraged.  If you persist,
you will live to regret it.

Write functions that return (arbitrarily complicated) objects and
assign the output of functions to objects.  DO NOT write functions
that mess around with your global environment.  Unless you *really*
know what you're doing --- and it's pretty clear that at this stage of
your development, you don't.
