Not in my experience.  Scripts of cards automatically open in the editor
with empty openCard handlers and all objects open with empty mouseUp
handlers.  This was done by design.  If you hit enter when editing the
script, the empty handler script is saved.

Create a new stack, edit the script of the card, hit enter, and then in the
message box "answer number of lines of script of this cd".  The result will
be 3.

If you do the same as the above but simply close the script editor via the
close box without applying, the number of lines will be 0.

(In my case, when I really want to be sure of blocking handlers, I simply
add a single "#" in the handler.)
