Hi Mike, Yeah, the speed of the current Eu/in/Eu source held me back from doing anything too serious with it also. I built a nice debugger but it takes forever to load a big program (5 or more seconds sometimes). Done in the Open Eu C source this would probably be much much better. Take care, Al E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria! My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's" From "Black Knight": "I can live with losing the good fight, but i can not live without fighting it".
