First-Time Initialization problem

Hi David,
If I wanted to init something on a card and run it only once, I'd use
local variables. This way they're automatically wiped clean on relaunch.
So, in the card script I'd put:
local lNotFirstTime
on openCard
if lNotFirstTime is not true then
--> DO INIT STUFF
put true into lNotFirstTime
end if
end openCard
Be aware, each time you EDIT the script of the card, you will destroy
the lNotFirstTime local variable, so it will run your init routines.
