1. RE: Strange Windows Effects
IDE uses a lot of resources and there is somewhere/something in IDE that
prevents win32lib from cleaning up behind IDE.

Hi all -
I have just been coding in Euphoria for the last two weeks and have
found it to be a great tool. I am using Derek Parnell's Win32 lib and
Judith Evans's IDE and I keep running into an unusual problem. Every now
and then, the Window text in the IDE suddenly changes to a different
font. This also sometimes happens to other (non-Euphoria) windows as
well. It only happens when I am writing and testing Euphoria using the
IDE. Am I not resetting some kind of mode flag when I exit my programs?
Thanks -
Mike W.

Judith -
Thanks for the quick reply. We are getting new PCs soon to replace our
PIIs. Maybe that will alievate this problem.
Thanks again-

Thanks for the insight, Greg. We will be getting XP so hopefully that
will solve the leaks
