Euphoria (exu) uses ncurses for output to the screen from
puts, printf etc. After a system() or system_exec() call, 
exu restores the screen to the way it was, to avoid 
causing confusion for ncurses.

I wonder if you could redirect your system() call output into
a file, and then display the file. e.g.  system("command > temp", 2)

In the future there might be a way to "turn off" ncurses for
Euphoria programs that don't want it.
