this has been covered many times but so far
not with actual code. could anyone give
a coded example? my apps all have volatile
cards & groups - they may me cut - so putting
"on startup" in a card or group script is
not a possibility. wait... maybe a group
dedicated to "on startup" that is never
deleted... 

anyway, i never quite understood where the
splash stack went after splashing.
maybe some real code would make the general
statements clear.
