I don't know, but I'm happy to make guesses - especially when it gives me a chance to rant a bit as well :-) Runrev had a first attempt at tackling "the web" with revlets - which worked well, but stumbled and failed because by then it was becoming impossible to get anyone to install a player

Yup. Graham nailed it here. The startup message is really only useful in a standalone app. I have used it to take care of some setup stuff that's only really useful in a standalone and not in the IDE. As Richard noted, once the IDE is running it's already loaded several system stacks, most not

It's helpful to remember that the IDE is just a collection of stacks, which are run automatically whenever the development engine is launched. So the Dictionary's explanation is correct, and the recipient of the startup message when running the IDE will be the IDE. To initialize stacks simply

I think the startup message actually goes to the first card of the first stack to be opened. In effect it gets swallowed in the IDE which has its own first card, opened long before your script starts executing (well, I think that’s what’s happening). For a long time now I have used this fact del

Hi. The dictionary says the message goes to the first stack in a new session. But I think the reason you are not trapping it if you place a handler in the stack script, and open that stack in a new session, is that other stacks open before the one you, say, double click on in the finder. Or
