The Console

Since console access seems so slow in Win32, I decided to try wrapping the
functions and working with it directly. I'm not having much luck, so if
anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong here, I'd appreciate it.

The file is at:

        http://www.lanset.com/dcuny/tmp/console.ew

When I run the program normally, nothing happens. When I run it in trace
mode, AllocConsole fails. My guess is that AllocConsole isn't typically
needed - Euphoria has already got a console.

The real problem is WriteConsole - I can't get it to write anything to the
console. I've also tried WriteConsoleOutputCharacter with similar
non-results.

Thanks!
