where does "startup" message go when in IDE

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Hi.


The dictionary says the message goes to the first stack in a new session. But I think the reason you are not trapping it if you place a handler in the stack script, and open that stack in a new session, is that other stacks open before the one you, say, double click on in the finder.


Or I am wrong about that.

I've found the startup message, to be sent to the first stack opened.

It
seems useful, but I haven't been able to trap it in the IDE.

In particular, I
found an incantation to hide the stack or some such for
use at the command
line.

Is it going to an IDE card?  Could I simulate it with a

if the
environment is "development" then

dispatch "startup" to me

end if

as
the first item of preOpenStack of the main stack (hmm, I suppose
in
beforePreOpenStack . . .)
