les,
With regard to my "gateway" (actually RunDemos.exw), I think as it is
distributed it right-click opens demos in the Euphoria editor, but you can
easily change it to open demos for viewing and experimentation in whatever
editor you prefer by changing one easy to find variable.
Look for "vTextViewer" just after version "history" & Features list,
and add the pathname for your editor of choice, something like this:
vTextViewer = "C:\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Accessories\\wordpad.exe"
That way you can experiment with the existing demos and then save your work;
you can then ADD them to the Gateway via the "insert" key (on keyboard),
either in existing tabfolder categories, or you can add your own category
or categories to add your experiments to. Then you can run them directly
from the Gateway as normal with double left-click.
Also, since as it's distributed it's "buried" in with the actual demos, it
can be convenient to make "shortcuts" to access it, either on your desktop,
or in some main folder where you can find it more easily.
And if you didn't already, check out the FAQ in RunDemos, it's actually
pretty reasonable, if I do say so myself, albeit not finished :(
And do make sure to get Judith's IDE for Win32Lib, it's WONDERFUL!

Hello Dan,
Do I have the correct "gateway" .
I cannot find RunDemos.exw...
And with what I have there is no "vTextViewer" in the wDemos.exw
that I have.
The "gateway" came from the archive .
I put in your name & "gateway ....." was shown.
Have I confused the issue again ??
sincerely,
les.r.

It's a standard part of the Windows Euphoria installation package, IIRC.

les,
Well, it's not really *you* that have confused things, it's more like me.
It's in the "Demo" folder that comes with Win32Lib.
There is a note accompanying the description in the archives
for my "gateway", that says:
"Note: An improved version of this program is now bundled with Win32Lib".
So, since you said you had Win32Lib, and you mentioned my "gateway", I
assumed (hah!) that you found it in the demos for Win32Lib, where the newer
version of it is. I think Derek improved it some, as he included it with
Win32Lib, after helping me develop it (along with others, including Al Getz,
& Wolfgang Fritz, check out credits), so I didn't want to put that version
that he improved in the archives under *my* name, see?
And one thing that Derek changed was my hard-coded use of wordpad or notepad
as the viewer/editor of choice, with a VARIABLE that could contain whatever
editor was desired. And as *that* version comes up, it uses Euphoria Ed,
which can be changed like I said.
So: RunDemos.exw IS my "gateway", as distributed *with* Win32Lib, and *that*
is where you will find the variable I mentioned for changing the editor
that it uses to view/edit with.
Sorry for the confusion, didn't mean to trip you up.
