The openCard skeleton is put into the script only when the script editor
opens. If you haven't opened the script, it's not there. Or in other words,
if you just create a card, its script will be empty.

(You can confirm this by creating a card and then typing
   the script of this card is empty
into the message box. It will return true, unless you've put something into
the script yourself.)
