Startup is sent only once when the engine is first launched. In the IDE, 
that happens long before any user stacks open (I think the IDE Home 
stack catches it.) Startup will never occur in a stack open in the IDE, 
only in a standalone.

I could have sworn that was in the dictionary, but it isn't under the 
"startup" message so it's probably buried somewhere else.
