I also encountered problems with the environment variables when running
Euphoria from a USB drive (on Windows XP).

Rob, I think usage of Euphoria would be simpler, if Euphoria would read
its settings from an INI file rather than from environment variables,
e.g.:

---------------------------- Euphoria.ini ----------------------------
[Directories]
EUDIR=C:\Programs\Euphoria\
EUINC=C:\Programs\Euphoria\Arwen\bin\;C:\Programs\Euphoria\wxEuphoria\
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The interpreter/translator just had to look for a file "Euphoria.ini" in
the same directory where it is located itself. 100% cross-platform, and
no hassle with environment variables any more. What do you think?
