I know you don't like getting involved with the various holy wars that
rise and fall on this mailing list, but... Would you consider a
euphoria include file containing ONLY windows API constants to the
standard distribution?

I would think that would help both users and creators of windows
libraries if they do not have to create their own lists. And a list of
constants doesn't restrict any user from using the windows library of
their choice. I imagine it would have the same kind of facility as
msgbox.e.

While on the subject of msgbox.e, has someone written a
library-agnostic msgbox library that allows dialogs to be created that
ask for user input (like "Enter a number between 1 and 100") ? That
kind of tool could be well-worth adding to the standard distribution
as well.
