Re: a dumb question about installing OEu 4?

Although I'd like to take refuge in the observation, "the only dumb question is the question not asked", I hope this is not the exception.
Is there a way to install V4 simply, AND be able to very easily switch back and forth between it and whatever version of Euphoria a person is currently running on their system?
By "very easily" I mean a program that can be run to completely switch between old and new Euphoria & vice-versa.
I am unsure how easy this is for everyone, but when installing the Beta versions of Euphoria, you can choose not to update the environment (default for betas). This will cause your old Euphoria install to be the active one. Then, when you want to use 4.0, you can run, say, C:\euphoria40\setenv.bat and that will set your current shell's environment to use 4.0.
That only affects the current command prompt and not your windows install, so depending on how you run your Euphoria programs, that may not make a difference (i.e. launching from Windows Explorer or something similar).
