1. A nice window vs Win console
As far as I understand, all output produced by Euphoria code that I
write goes to the Windows console...unless I code myself a window with
IDE for example and incorporate that code in my program and use special
procedures with things like SetPenPos, wPuts etc. to output my stuff on
a decent looking screen. This should be handled internally by euphoria
with a different parameter. With puts(4,x) for example, the 4 would
indicate that I want my output to a simple full screen window.

Whatever that might look like.

message_box(text,title,MB_OK) is about the closest you'll get.

You have a steep learning curve to look forward to 
A proper windows program needs an event loop, for a start.
The following program is about the simplest mock up of what you seem
to want. Someone might post a better example, but this is about as
simple as I can make it.

Hear hear!
I think that's a great idea, especially if it had a scrollbar when it filled
up. I'm running windows 98, and the DOS window's are very crappy. Maybe even
make it the default for *.exw programs, so that '? foo' outputs to the
window.

I'll consider it, but maybe a user-contributed library
like the one from Al Getz would be a better solution.

For puts() and friends, you could just do this:
global constant WINDOWHANDLE = -4
procedure oldputs(integer i, object x)
puts(i, x)
end procedure
global procedure puts(integer handle, object x)
if handle = WINDOWHANDLE then
-- do the SetPos() and wPuts() stuff here
else
oldputs(handle, x)
end if
end procedure
My basicio lib for linux does something similar. There is no way to
wrap '? foo' tho, unless you wanna rewrite it into something like 'qmark(foo)'.
It would be nice if there was a builtin routine that let us assign a routine id
of a procedure that took one object as its only parameter to '?' like:
procedure qmark(object x)
....
set_builtin_qmark(routine_id("qmark"))
Maybe it could only be called once even, so the second call to it would be
an error...hmm.

I should also add that I chose to make WINDOWHANDLE -4 instead of 4 because
4 could be a valid file handle, but -4 cant be.
