Whats better to SHARED or not

I don't really understand your problem description, but in general, local variables are preferable to global ones in every respect. In general, but sometimes one can't avoid it.

GoSub is one of those things... The QBasic/QuickBasic reference says that this is only supported for compatibility reasons, but it is not recommended.

Yeah, gosub is one of those hallmarks of spaghetti code that I completely avoid!
