The first time you run a Euphoria program in a newly-created
MS-DOS prompt window, Windows 95, in its infinite wisdom,
will switch to full-screen. Press Alt-Enter to
make it a small window again. It should then stay as a small window
when you run more Euphoria programs.

This doesn't happen with Windows 3.1. I haven't found a way
to stop Windows 95 from doing it, but if you put graphics_mode(-1)
at the beginning of your program it quickly forces it back into a
small window (from full-screen). You'll probably see some brief
screen flicker.
