Linux and Windows versions of Euphoria work very different from a user's perspective. On Windows, if you open a EUPHORIA program from the GUI. The program will create a console Window for you and do its STDIN and STDOUT in that Window. On Linux, the Euphoria programs cannot be opened from the GUI at all. But suppose we figure out how to do so then the Interpreter under Linux will not create such a Window and you will see nothing.
So for UNIX in general we assume console programs are run from the console. On Windows we don't need to assume because this can be determined in a program. Without a maybe_any_key() Windows would create the window, run the program and then close the window without user interaction. When run in an already created console the Window would not close until you close it manually or type in 'exit' to close the shell. So, in this case the program doesn't ask for you to press a key.
Why should the interpreter ask for a key press? Are you opening demos from a GUI in Linux?
