Hi Pete,


Ok, here's the latest on the message area display...

Added err number lines (as above).
Open Edita (with test2.exw loaded).
Press F5.
Get 'file' error... traced to 'exwc' wasnt recognized because
i never created one on my system.

Created exwc.exe and opened one .ex program with it, then 
closed that program.

Open Edita.
Press F5.
Get msgbox error: Duplicate Handle failed
Close Edita.

Added PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE to OpenProcess() call.

Open Edita.
Press F5.
Console opens, prints out:
-------------------------------------------------------------
press any key but q
ReadConsoleOutput failed
-------------------------------------------------------------
(and see nothing in message area)

Close console by pressing ENTER,
see in message area:
press any key but q


In short, the console opened, showed the program output, also 
showed an error message, and nothing was displayed in the message
area until after the console was closed by pressing ENTER.

It might help if i knew what the message area was supposed to be
showing, both now and what your long range intentions are for that,
and exactly when it's supposed to appear there.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
