Debugging is the easiest thing in EU

Too many extra job...

You can do, for example:

procedure beep(integer pitch)
    atom t
      return -- CHANGE
          sound(pitch)
             t = time()
             while time() < t+0.07 do
             end while
         sound(0)
end procedure

And Euphoria will remind you about your
change, when program is finished.
Then you can  
-- return -- CHANGE
to restore old good procedure.
See, 'return' stands after 'atom t', this is
an important thing about procedures 
and functions.
