1. newbie's video problem
I'm new to Euphoria and new to this list. After playing with the PD
version, I am very impressed with Euphoria, but I've encountered a
problem that has me stymied.
I run Euphoria 1.4 programs in a DOS window under Windows 95. The
first time EX runs, it forces the window to full-screen mode.
Alt-enter will restore the DOS session to a window, and subsequent
runs of EX in that session do not maximize it. But every DOS
session suffers from this problem when EX runs the first time, and
it's a significant obstacle to the way I want my programs to run.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and is there a known fix?

Yes, this is the behaviour that I see on win95 as well. I
think it happens the first time you run *any* DOS program - no?. I have
always assumed there was some setting in win95 to change this behaviour,
but I have not tried very hard to find it. Unfortunately I won't
be able to investigate it for a couple of days - maybe someone else on
this list has the answer already. I'll let you know if I find out more.
