Static and public/private variables are defined at the class
level.  You need to put those outside your function, at the
beginning of the class module.

"DIM" is just a way to define a local variable used only within
the context of the function in which it's defined: if it's a
static function it will be a static private variable, if not,
it'll be a dynamic private variable.  (Note that it's not REALLY
a private variable, it's a local variable which is still more
private than PRIVATE, but I just put it that way so you could
see what they were analogous to.)
