Not sure if this is a waste or not...I know that a port of Mac0S would have made a lot of Mac users happier with PC's...I like the idea of being able to... Start one program with Dos that would act like a shell... Like a front end. Then you could write Euphoria programs that would access the shell, and interact with the user through the shell. Kind of a standard for Eu windowing programs, but to actually install one you would only have to download the interface code and data objects. A mac interface would be a useful alternative, as it would already exist to write for. If you could provide a basic interface, maybe we could add on to it. Hmm... well anyway. I really wanted to ad that your program made it easy for me to create windowing programs. I like that, and can use that, except for the lack of a refresh. Adding refresh capability and especially graphics would be icing on the cake... Thanks for you for taking so much time to help us... Monty in Oregon
