The startUp message is different. The docs contain the following
description of the startUp message:
"Sent to the first stack opened when the application starts up."
So, this appears to be exactly true: the message is sent to the
stack and not to the card. This causes some confusion and it is
inconvenient for me, because usually my preOpenstack and startUp
handlers are connected and I would like to look at them in the same
script editor. Moreover, HyperCard does send the startUp message to
the card rather than the stack.
I would like to know your opinion about this.
Not an opinion, just an observation. In "cardless" situations such as
cgi scripts,the startup message is the only one available. I have no
knowledge of the internal workings of the engine, but I wonder if
this is relevant and is part of the reason why "startup" goes to the
stack and not the card.
But if it's possible to implement, I can't see any downside.
Cheers
Dave
