shutDownRequest being called twice

[Thierry Arbellot]

Good question. I never asked myself about it before, I just used local 
variable to share and retain value within handlers in the same script 
and it does work.

I found this in the documentation :

The value of a script local variable is retained between handlers, but 
is lost when you quit the application, when you close the stack (unless 
its destroyStack property is false), or when the script is re-compiled.

So, if you are in one of those cases, you can use a script local 
variable.
