No. That number only means something to that instance of euphoria.
Agreed.

Ultimately, it maps to a FILE pointer returned by fopen (part of the C std library). I don't think you could share that, either.
I think you're right about FILE too, though you can throw file handles obtained direct from the windows API between processes, I've seen that done (in C++), and that console file I/O handles can also be inherited/cloned till they work. Probably easier to close and reopen files though, if you ask me.
