Hi Jeff,

The simplest way is to 'send' a message from your startup/openstack/... handler, to be executed in 0 milliseconds. This way, the message will be triggered right after everything is loaded in terms of libraries.

##
on openStack
  send "FetchWelcomePage" to me in 0 milliseconds
end openStack
on FetchWelcomePage
  put URL("http://www.example.org/welcome.htm" into field "Welcome"
end FetchWelcomePage
