If you want to execute the program hello.ex from within another program, =
do
this by:

system("C:\\euphoria\\ex hello.ex", 0)

The ex part is for starting up the interpreter again; in fact, a second
copy of the interpreter, if I'm not mistaken. I don't get what you want t=
o
achieve by system("", 0).
At it's best, this will do nothing, just like when you press Enter on an
empty command line.

Hope this helps,
