Theoretically you can set the externals with the "startup" handler, but
since that is sent to the first stack that is opened by the engine, it would
have to be in a standalone for that to work. If you just have a "normal"
stack that is opening in the Rev IDE, you'll have to set the externals, save
the stack, then ask the user to quit and reopen it.
