Well, with the current way Euphoria is set up you can't make it a TSR.  For
your program to be a TSR Euphoria must be a TSR itself.  There is one way...
if Robert has some extra time (laugh)he could make a special TSR version of
Euphoria that would be a minimal size and just be used to make TSR's with.
