1. Include for doEvents
My interpreter says that doEvents has not been declared. That must mean
that I need another include file. One of the posts mentioned Win32Lib
docs. Do I need to get something more than the registered version of
Euphoria in order to use doEvents?

The routine 'doEvents()' comes with the library system called 'Win32lib', it
is not a Euphoria routine that is supported or distributed by RDS.
The assumption has been that you are using the win32lib library for coding
Windows programs. If you are not doing this, then you will need to find a
different way of doing the same thing. What is the library (or method) you
are using to code Windows programs with?

Oh I see. If you haven't coded Windows apps before then take it slowly as its a
steep learning curve. You need to think "event-driven" rather than
"process-driven" coding style.
You can unzip win32lib files into any directory. The unzip creates three
sub-directories, Include, Docs, and Demo. You will need to add the 'Include' path
to the EUINC environment variable. For example, if you unzip into C:\Win32lib,
you will get ...
C:\Win32Lib\Include
C:\Win32Lib\Docs
C:\Win32Lib\Demo
You will need to change EUINC ...
If you had (for example) ...
EUINC=C:\EU_Utils
then change it to ...
EUINC=C:\Win32lib\Include;C:\EU_Utils
