Yeah, thanks a lot for this info...

I really had forgotten this "startup" thing, at least in this context, 
for CGI scripts this
is of course the one and only handler...

I just made a short test and it proofs, that "on startup" is also the 
best (and probably only)
place where you can:

...
set the externals of this stack to 
"test.app/Contents/MacOS/name_of_external.bundle"
## manually ;-)
...

Great! :-)
