Those are not initially set but only appear after some process that 
requires them has been used. This is what I found after a lua script 
had been applied. If the process does not start then these variables 
may never be set, in a chicken and egg sort of way.

StrongED$Tmp_DragFile : Fat32Fs::SSD120.$.Progm.Progm2.Lua.henry
StrongED$Tmp_FileLeaf : Textfile
StrongED$Tmp_FileName : Textfile
StrongED$Tmp_FilePath :
StrongED$Tmp_MarkWord :
StrongED$Tmp_ModeName : BaseMode
StrongED$Tmp_ModePath : StrongED_Tmp:Modes.BaseMode
StrongED$Tmp_ToolPath : StrongED_Tmp:Tools
StrongED$Tmp_WorkView(Number) : 557038457
StrongED$Tmp_WriteDir : Boot:Choices.!StrED_cfg.UserPrefs.

If you like you can zip me your !StrongED and StrED_cfg and I will 
have a look.
