I just discovered Euphoria about 3 days ago so please forgive the newbie
question.
I've used multiEdit to write a small program. I purposely put in an error to
see how multiEdit handles it. When I press F5 to execute the program, a black
DOS box appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. I don't get to
see an error message. Am I doing something wrong here?

Well, besides the error... no. :)
There's a file generated called "ex.err" that shows the error. When you're
running a Windows program, the console doesn't stay open in some cases,
which cases I don't know. (It stays open if you put ?1/0 to break the
program.)
Check out that ex.err file and you'll see the error.

It also depends on the Windows version and probably on the used editor --
unfortunately I don't know anything about multiEdit. See e.g.:

BTW: Rob, is there a way to make shorter references to posts in the
mailing-list archive?

It's important to mention that file, in order to make sure that a new user
knows about it. However, reading the error message directly on the
screen is much faster than looking into that file.
"ex.err" contains more comprehensive information than the error message
on the screen, but in say 95% of the cases I don't neeed that additional
information.

I just learned this myself:
Go to the Bin folder.
ex.exe
left click it properties\program
unselect the "Close on exit" checkbox.
This will stop the Euohoria program from shutting down.
I don't know about your editor but even if it shuts down your
Euphoria dos box with it's error message should still be there.

You probably mean right click.

Yes, I know. That works for DOS programs such as ex.exe, not for Windows
programs such as exw.exe and exwc.exe.
