Does Dos32Lib take that much longer to load than any other Euphoria program?
I don't think that there is anything special that should be taking that
long. When I ran it on a 386, I also noticed that the speed was slow, but
thought it was Euphoria loading, rather than something in my code.

The actual graphics on a 386 seemed to be a bit sluggish, but not
unacceptably slow. The main changes I made to the graphics (other than
making the interface leaner) were to make the code a bit more conserative
about refreshing the desktop, and avoid redundant operations.

Thanks for the feedback! What do you think of the new user interface?
