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.
Fortunately it appears this isn't an error in the engine, just in the docs.
I just made a standalone with this handler in both the card and stack
scripts:
on startup
answer the params &cr& the name of the target
end startup
When I run the standalone the Answer box contains:
startup
card id 1002
So as far as I can tell, the Rev engine is consistent in this regard
with HyperCard and other xTalks.
