I have little suggestion here: since there is number of libraries I'd like to
have
"accessable" all the time, and use of EUINC "eats" environment space (plus 
annoying Windows-restarting), maybe it would be nice if there is file called 
INCPATH.LST, or something like that, in %EUDIR%\BIN (or, for Linux, $EUDIR/bin) 
which would hold list of directories which contain include files. Paths in this
file
should, also, have support for environment variables, so if we have

set EU_LIBS=D:\Develop\Libs\Euphoria

we can say in INCPATH.LST something like

%EUDIR%\Include
%EU_LIBS%\Win32Lib
%EU_LIBS%\Strings
%EU_LIBS%\Graphics
...

One more thing - it could be usefull if EU has support for paths relative to
these
paths above. Example, if we have under %EU_LIBS%\Graphic directories Graph1 
and Graph2 (two different libraries), we can say

include Graph1/main.e

or

include Graph2/main.e

and EU will look not just in the present directory, but also in all directories
in the
include path.

I know this all is not simple, I just say it could be usefull. Let it all be a
suggestion to
be considered for some of new versions of EU.
