The use of database.e from the dos version of euphoria will work in windows.
the example I pointed to earlier uses this.
Please dont get me wrong, I am trying to help.

Jacques Deschenes wrote Commdlg.e which is a wrapper for Open, Save file
Dialog etc.
I have just begun to become interested in writeing my programs like Jacques
but, have a lot to learn
I think that win32lib is probably the easiest way to get what your after.

>From Win32Lib:
getOpenFileName( window, file, filters ) --Open file Dialog
getSaveFileName( window, file, filters )  --Save file Dialog

useing:
open, puts and many other commands (NOT ALL)  from the DOS side of Euphoria
WILL work in Windows.

I will begin to write the code for what your after and share that with you.
be patient though, I'm not as good as some (Wolfgang).

for now, this will create a file in windows

       fn = open("newfile.mws", "w")
       puts(fn,"you see dos stuff does work in windows")
       close(fn)

by the way if wolfgang reads this......THANKS DUDE
