And the second test ???
Also, what happens when instead of clicking on the euiw.exe file name, you start a DOS console and type in "euiw"?
FIRST test with .EX file Opens full screen hitting key shrinks to window but have to close by [x] in top right corner
FIRST test with .EXW file Opens window hitting key closes window
SECOND test with .EX file Opens full screen hitting key shrinks to window but have to close by [x] in top right corner
SECOND test with .EXW file Opens window hitting key closes window
I see. Well it appears that you have ".EX" associated with euid.exe and ".EXW" associated with euiw.exe. This is normal and not the issue.
It also appears that clicking on the ".EXW" file, which invokes euiw.exe, has no problems with running wait_key(). This is good.
Now, can you please open a DOS console and type in "euiw" instead of clicking on "euiw.exe" file name. Remember that the wait_key() is only used after the help text if Euphoria sees "euiw" somewhere in the name of the file that is running Euphoria. If you have renamed "euiw.exe" to something else it defintely won't work as expected, but I'm pretty sure you haven't done that. What I'm trying to test now is to see if Windows 98 treats invoking the program from the command line any differently than invoking it by clicking on the file name.
It should be the same, but it won't hurt to test it out.
So all you have to do for this next test, is ...
- start a new DOS console.
- Type in "euiw" and press the Enter key.
If this does not wait (just flashes a new console) then I'm out of ideas for now, except to say why the heck are you still using WIN98???
