Renzo:
A simple way would be to add a text sequence of information
that your program would display on the screen when a special
common of keys is pressed. You could do that even if the
file is shrouded.

I believe he was asking for a way to add the information that
windows displays in the "version" and "summary" tabs of the
properties window that opens when you right click on an
executable file and choose "properties" in the menu that opens.
I was not aware of any program or utility that will let you add this
information to an executable, although they would certainly be
very useful. I know that Visual Studio products let you enter
this information at the time you compile an executable. If
ResourceHacker is able to do this, you might try it on the
Euphoria interpreter before you bind your program to it.
It may also be possible that by running ResourceHacker on the
Euphoria Interpreter that you are messing up the stub program
that provides the executable decompression that RDS uses
to keep the size of the interpreter managable.

James:
If that is what he wants then that would have to
be done with the resource compiler. Binding
will not add that info to the exe because there is
no way to at present to bind info from a resource
compiler into Euphoria.
You could not added to the interpreter because
it would require that you compile it with resource files.
Maybe if you explain the reason you need to have that
information available someone could come up with a
soulution.
