People will be pleased to know that 5 is now in progress, and none of the
above bugs are there. There aren't any major new features yet, so no new
bugs either. 5 will be out early next month.

This was one of my very first ideas when I started messing around with EE
waaay back in the mists of time (v1.01:CS - well before I aligned the EECS
version number with tat of Euphoria). I decided against it.
>.. List the include file routines in the subs list as well
A good idea in theory, but sadly it wouldn't work. Example: Consider the
EE:CS project. It has around *40* source code files. The time it would take
to load in all of the subroutine names would be ridiculous. Then you've got
to consider that EE can only have 10 files open at any one time. How would
it decide which file to close if you selected a subroutine from a file that
wasn't open? 
The closest you will get to something like this is by using the PRoJect
file mechanism. Read about it in CYREK.TXT.

Do-able, but the SUBS box already displays the type of the subroutine. (And
I've squashed the 1st-selected-not-giving-info bug in 5).
>.. List Global Variables

This is difficult as global variables can be declared without the 'global'
keyword. To get around it requires parsing the Euphoria to a level I don't
really want to go to.
constants are a might-do. It would be just a matter of binding a key to a
function butchered from the subs box.

One of mine on the to-do list is to load the file containing an error
external to the current program rather than just showing an error.
i.e. The one that says "The error file EX.ERR refers to BADFILE.E".
Falkon noticed that first time saved Euphoria files don't pick up the
EXECUTABLE attribute. I'll squash that one in 5 too.
