Re: What small tablet ( without screen) is ok currently?
ive not tried any of the tablets but in terms of actual pen displays - I've got a 24" huion thats better in basically every way than the 22" cintiq i was using 6-7 years ago at work (it functions correctly on linux as well) the drivers/software are pretty decent and certainly less intrusive than the older wacom ones -

Re: Mel script: Is there a way to declare a procedure with variable without declaring the variable?
You can, as in the example above if you want to use a variable declared outside a function(procedure) you need to declare the variable inside the function as global.
