Try this, maybe it will make a differance:

#! c:\euphoria\bin\exw.exe
include misc.e

for i=1 to 10 do
	puts(1,sprint(i)&"<br>")
        flush(1)
	sleep (1)
end for

That may not be a complete solution to your problem. See also:

Hi CoJaBo,

I try this:

#!\cgi-bin\euphoria\bin\exw.exe


include \biotecnologia\cgi-bin\euphoria\include\sort.e
include \biotecnologia\cgi-bin\euphoria\include\misc.e
include \biotecnologia\cgi-bin\euphoria\include\file.e


for i=1 to 5 do
puts(1,"1")
flush(1)
sleep(1)
end for

same result...

shows only 11111 after 5 seconds.

-- the next line IS server push! See the second web page ( recommended.

As long as you're using Xitami, you're out of luck. I found this on 
their FAQ pages:

QUOTE:
Because Xitami does not work with streaming output, for now. 
It buffers all CGI output until the CGI ends, then sends it to the browser. 
We're considering alternatives to this model to allow streaming output.
/QUOTE

It looks like you will have to choose a better server, or wait until 
they add that feature. There _might_ be a workaround, but the complexity 
of such boggles the mind. Much easier to change server software.
