Euphoria 2.3 Beta Feedback for Rob

Hi,
After a few hours testing everything is looking very good Rob.
Good job!!

I have one complaint/suggestion....
When I bind an .exw the screen changes to fullscreen mode and then back
to windowed mode.
Is there any way to stop this *annoying* behaviour?  Btw, I'm running
Win98 here.


Currently I bind my programs from within my trusty editor (TSE Pro from
Semware)
using ShellExecute() to run "ex.exe bind.ex -w32 my.exw".

I've tried setting/saving my conagent settings and the properties of
ex.exe and bind.ex but without luck.

Just so you know I've 'Read The Manual' <g>

This info was in the Trouble Shooting documentation
==================================
P: When I run ex.exe in a DOS Window, it makes my small DOS window go to
full screen.
S: This will only happen the first time you run ex.exe after creating a
new small DOS window. You can make the window small again by pressing
Alt-Enter. It will stay small after that. Your Euphoria program can keep
the window small by executing:
         if graphics_mode(-1) then
        end if
 at the start of execution. This may cause some brief screen flicker.
Your program can force a text window to be full-screen by executing:
         if graphics_mode(3) then
        end if
==========================================

>From reading the above I assume ex.exe is setting graphics_mode(3) every
time it starts up.
Please, change it so that: if it starts in a window it stays in a window
and if it starts fullscreen it stays fullscreen. I hope its possible....

Thankyou very muchly,

Ross Boyd
