When I open my older dos programs they open in full screen. Before they opened in console window. You could switch them back and forth with hold down [WinKey] & [Enter]. Now it always opens in full screen. If I hit [Win][Enter] it goes to console once. If I hit [Win][Enter] it then goes back to full screen. Now if I hit [Win][Enter] again the screen just goes blank nothing happens. Hitting [ctl][alt][del] does nothing. Hitting the on/off button on computer does nothing. I have to unplug the computer. When I restart it usually the date and clock need to be reset. A big hassle. When I run the program it goes back to full screen,

Now you might say, "Why not [Win][Enter] it to console and leave it there?" Well because if I have restart it. It goes back full screen and this time it won't go back to console unless I restart the computer again.

When I hit [Win][Enter] to switch back and forth I can hear a relay clicking in the monitor every time. But it only switches screens once.

I using: animal.ex, WinXP. Eu ver. 3

What's going on here? Can I program Euphoria to only open Dos programs in console?

Any help appreciated.

were you intending to preserve the undocumented status?

I have this in one of the bat files I start eui with and have a forced pause at the end.

no idea if it will help in this case though

set EUVISTA=1 
set EUCONS=1
