If I correct "global myval" to "global integer myval",
and I correct "./a.e" to ".\a.e", then
it correctly prints a single "1" on DOS or Windows.

Or if I use "./a.e" on Linux or FreeBSD it also
correctly prints a single "1".

Euphoria assumes "\" in file paths on DOS and Windows,
and "/" and Linux and FreeBSD. If you have something else
it just passes it through to the O/S. It looks like DOS and Windows
will accept "/" in some cases (but not all).
Linux and FreeBSD never accept "\".
