When an interpreted euphoria program (that is, not an exe or dll) halts with an error, can it please completely let go of filesystem resources before displaying the error screen? Winxp reports an intrepreted eui v4b4 app which crashes while files are open still owns the opened files until the dos box is closed. This means the errant file cannot be opened for inspection by another app until the dos box is closed.

I assume you are using the 'euiw' edition of the interpreter.
"intrepreted eui v4b4"
In any case, I can't reproduce the problem. I can get a program to error and halt, as you say, but the files that the failing program has open are still able to be opened (for reading) by other applications.
What is the application that you are using to inspect the open files with?
Textpad to open, Explorer to delete, rename, or move.
