Hmm..., Complete path?  Let me brain storm here.
I am wondering why you aren't able to use the relative path.

Create an initialization file in the directory in which the program is
installed.
Or maybe an initialization file in the Windows directory.
And you can't assume that windows is at C:\WINDOWS it may be in many places.
IE: C:\WINDOWS.000 or D:\WINDOWS.  Don't you just hate windows !!!!
Maybe in the Euphoria directory.  BUT then you have the upgrades of Euphoria
that rename that EUPHORIA to FUPHORIA.  That's no fun.
Here's an idea.  Tag the end of your program during installation with
--C://EUPHORIA/TUTOR3  Where C://EUPHORIA/TUTOR3 is the complete path.
Of course you need to ask the user where they want the program installed.
Better than that.  Put the initialization file in the directory that program
is installed into and then tag the end of you program with the path of the
installed directory.  Of course to move it the user would have to Reinstall.

    I hope this thoughts help.  They appear to be all that you have recieved.
