   I would suggest that if you don't have any knowledge of
   win32 programming that you start with something simpler.
   If you read the doucuments that come with Euphoria then
   in the Euphoria\demo\win32 directory you will find
   a example program called window.exw which is what you have
   to do just to create a window. If this is too difficult to
   understand then use the win32lib which handles all the complicated
   things for you. The function above is a unicode function
   and you will need to create unicode strings to use it.
