handling command line parameters

[Phil Davis]

Jon -

If you're opening your stack in the development environment, it won't 
receive a 'startup' message even if you open Rev by double-clicking your 
stack. The Rev Dev environment 'eats' that message.

The startup message does, however, make it to your first-opened stack 
(the standalone itself) at startup time in a Standalone environment.
