Those actions PREVENTED me from EVER installing v2.4.
I assume you would ask, "How can it prevent?"
Answer: I knew ahead of time from the 2.3 install and from

And you don't think it is worth SHOUTING ABOUT?

I'll answer that, even if he already has. In hopes to educate and hope
to help Euphoria the language. Not by helping the Euphoria community.
Doing the first will do the latter in time.

Add features?
How about removing blunders?

I don't mind it not being perfect. But it would be nice if RC

He does ! Whether he wants to admit it or not.
