include get.e

atom keypress

keypress = wait_key()
if keypress = '1' then
 system("C:\\EUPHORIA\\TEST.EXE",0)
end if

That will work. So will
 system("DIR",0) -- do a dos DIR

but system("C:\\EUPHORIA\\TEST.EX",0)
won't do anything, since TEST.EX won't
run. Either "bind" it into an .EXE, or
try:

 system("C:\\EUPHORIA\\BIN\\EX.EXE TEST.EX",0)
to run another copy of Euphoria with the
program file TEST.EX.
