I don't understand cgi, but I was thinking about trying it one of these 
days...
Anyway, although I don't know cgi, I do know that from my experience, 
when you run a euphoria program (in windows), it does not create a 
prompt window unless it needs to.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you use "puts(1, "text")", doesn't "1" 
represent the screen? And when you put to the screen, Euphoria creates a 
console window so it can "puts" to it. If you want to put to an open 
file, you would use whatever number represents that open file, which 
should be a number other than 1. Are you putting to a file? Maybe you 
should use the number 2.
Am I helping? Or should I just be quiet now? :)
