The only code is what I'd posted in the message you replied to.
The only change was setting a custom file type ("xXx") where I had
previously used "txt" in the Standalone Builder.
Since then it seem Peter's found the original cause of the issue, so at
this time it seems everything's working as expected.

Richard,
Could you (with Bernd's permission) kindly post the code that made this all
work correctly?
Thanks.

Even weirder:
Offlist Bernd kindly sent an example of a stack similar to what's
described below, but it works flawlessly.
The only significant difference I could find was that his uses a custom
document type, while I had use txt.
So I went back to my test app, changed the document type from txt to a
custom one, and now I get the odoc events both when files are dropped on
the app to launch it and while the app is already running.
This seems like a bug in the Finder more than LiveCode, some oddity in how
AE works with well known file types.
Since there doesn't appear to be any problem at all, I'm closing my bug
report.
And since there doesn't appear to be any problem at all, how did we wind
up here?

Wierdness abounds:
I made a standalone with this card script:
on startup
insert script of btn "fs" into front
end startup
This script in a button "fs":
on appleEvent
put the params &cr & the executionContexts &cr&cr after fld 1
pass appleEvent
end appleEvent
And that same script in the stack.
When I double-click the resulting app, I see:
appleEvent "aevt","oapp",""
button id 1007 of card id 1002 of stack "/Users/rg/Desktop/ae tester/ae
tester/ae tester.app/Contents/MacOS/ae tester",appleEvent,2
appleEvent "aevt","oapp",""
stack "/Users/rg/Desktop/ae tester/ae tester/ae
tester.app/Contents/MacOS/ae tester",appleEvent,2
When I launch the app by dropping a text file onto it (I'd set it up to
use TEXT/txt files) I get:
appleEvent "aevt","odoc",""
button id 1007 of card id 1002 of stack "/Users/rg/Desktop/ae tester/ae
tester/ae tester copy.app/Contents/MacOS/ae tester",appleEvent,2
appleEvent "aevt","odoc",""
stack "/Users/rg/Desktop/ae tester/ae tester/ae tester
copy.app/Contents/MacOS/ae tester",appleEvent,2
But I get no oapp when I launch the app with a document, and I get no
odoc when I launch the app without one.
I've searched the LC scripts and this issue is different from the older
one I'd experienced, since the other one was consistent and caused by a
rev script.
This one appears to be engine-level, in which only the first Apple event
is processed, and subsequent ones ignored.
Can anyone confirm this before I update my bug report?
