I don't know about Derek, but I use startup when I need something to
happen once only and in the standalone only.
Any other message has the possibility of being called more than once
i.e. if the stack is closed & re-opened or if the user changes cards,
but startup really has to be unique.
Admittedly this is a rare circumstance, but it's always nice to have the option.
Cheers,
