My apologies. The mainline I was making reference to was a conditioned loop
that kept the program running, like an exit key not being pressed, or  while
there was still data in a file to read, or to using a gaming example, while
all the asteriods are still floating around waiting to be shot. By the way,
has anyone heard from Lord Generic Productions lately? I miss OIDZONE.

In DOS, you can easily set any condition in a program mainline to stop the
loop. In a WIN32LIB powered Euphoria program, the program only stops when
the primary window is closed.
