Record fields are only used in combination with their record variable.
Thus, “myFrame.selbeg” clearly indicates that “selbeg” refers to a field
of “myFrame”.

In the expression “RealFunction(RETURN Math.sin(v))” the variable “v”
could be anything: a variable defined within the calling function, some
global variable with this name, or actually the name of a formal
parameter of “RealFunction”. You have to examine the exact definition of
“RealFunction” including its formal parameter names, to find out.
