Script local variables and initialization.

[Alex Tweedly]

I think I've discovered something, but if possible I'd like it to be 
confirmed (or alternatively, to know that I'm wrong, and then I can go 
back to debugging).

I have some script local variables, used in multiple handlers within the 
card script. I expected them to be reset at start up, and to retain 
their values from then on - but it appears that they are in fact reset 
before openCard.

(i.e. I call one of the handlers within the card script from 
preOpenStack, that sets an initial value, but that value appears to be 
lost.  I know it's probably a bad idea to call a card handler from 
preOpenStack, and I'll be changing that anyway - but it would be 
reassuring to know that this unconfirmed theory is correct.)

The docs are a bit vague

> The value of a script local variable is retained between handlers, but 
> is lost when you quit the application, when you close the stack 
> (unless its destroyStack property is false), or when the script is 
> re-compiled.

which doesn't really mention start-up conditions.

Thanks
