Startup message

[Pete]

Thanks Richard.  If I understand the message path correctly, the
preOpenStack handler in the mainstack will be executed for every substack of
the main stack that is opened?  I can easily check whether my initialisation
code has already executed in the handler but was hoping for a way to have
the code executed just once when the app started up.
