  • Thread-topic: on run blocks

That is a run handler, and not it's not needed. When it's not present the part
of your script that's not included in any other handlers (the top level) is in
an implicit run handler.

Using on run / end run does not improve or degrade your scripts execution.

As far as I know the only purpose is to help keep your script organized.

           One thing I don’t understand is what the on run block does?  Is it
actually needed here?  It seems to work just fine without it.
