That makes sense to me because statics are only available inside
the script which owns them -- and really that's not such bad news
for you Ted, because it could be a better plan to save a script's statics
every time the script quits. Saving all the statics at shutdown has a risk
of losing them if there's a PP crash or an unusual shutdown event such as
a power failure.
Although you don't need a shutdown routine to save all scripts'
statics, you do need a startup routine to restore them all,
because you don't need to restore them every time the script is run.
Suppose the scripts whose statics you wish to preserve are called
script1, script2, etc. and each static var is called static1, static2, etc.

Every "Quit" command in script1 should be changed to "Jump staticSave"

The @staticRestore section of each script is only ever run by your
PowerPro startup script.
