Oh, yeas,, your windoze Eu code can have a Win95 gui window open using
win32lib calls, and a dos window open using Eu's dos commands like print()
or puts(), i was doing this last nite. The windoze window gave me connection
status while the dos window printed other things for debugging. I was too
lazy to use the win32lib call when puts() did the job i needed.
