1. RE: Windows console
Procedures position() and puts() are for DOS/console. They can come in
handy for Windows programming as debugging statements but they won't
print anything to your window.
A proper example based on your code might look like this:
--------------------
include Win32Lib.ew
without warning
object x
x = "Jos"
constant
SLWindow2 = createEx( Window, "Serge Window", 0, Default, Default,
400, 300, 0, 0 )
procedure ABC(integer self, integer event, sequence parms)
setPenPos(SLWindow2,10,10) -- position the text pen in window
wPuts(SLWindow2,x) -- Windows version of Eu's puts() proc
end procedure
-- this line tells Windows when to run the procedure
-- in this case, do it whenever the window needs to be repainted
setHandler(SLWindow2,w32HPaint,routine_id("ABC"))
-- this line launches your program in a maximized window
WinMain( SLWindow2,Maximize )
--------------------
You should look at the demo programs included with Win32Lib to get a
better idea of how Windows progamming works using the library.

2. RE: Windows console
How about :
wputs(SLWindow2,x)

3. RE: Windows console
Thanks to Brian and Bernie. I have a slightly better understanding of
how to built and use a window. I'l read more thoroughly the win32lib
documentation. However, IDE does shield you a lot about the actual
coding (good or bad?)
