Ok, there is the very old and good command in Euphoria - 'with'.
Try please :

with ! -- add here needed comments to guide user in proper direction
-- code to adjust
with ! -- add here other comments
-- code to adjust

You'll get crashes with the error messages:

unknown with/without option
with !-- your directional comments

Force user to correct your program as it is suitable
for concrete user's machine, platform, OS version,
videocard, processor speed, interpreter version,
needed EU libs, RAM size, HD size, start directory,
dll version, EUDIR, EUINC, cr/lf, cr, lf, EOF,
language, window size ... all you need to get your
program working and nice.

I think, EUPHORIA is a great language, JUST NOW, isn't it?

Thanks Juergen for your question!
