The 'startup' message not working in IDE

[Monte Goulding]

Or:

local sFIrstRun = "true"

on preOpenStack
    if the owner of the target is me then
        if the environment is "development" and sFIrstRun then
             startup
        end if
        put false into sFIrstRun
    end if
end preOpenStack
