What Windows version and what Euphoria version are you using?
On my system -- Windows 98, Euphoria 2.4 (tested by using "exw.exe") --
this does not work. I actually can't imagine, that the suggested method
would work as expected on any other Windows version.

However, "good old" ShellExecute does the job.
