There are (or were) a couple of commercial programs which were 
supposed to allow "visual programming" - didn't generate Euphoria 
code, of course. 

Sadly, I could never get much beyond the "hello world" stage with 
any of these. Perhaps the implementation was flawed, or the user 
interface poorly designed. Or maybe I don't know how to program. 

It would be interesting to see something like you describe it if would 
actually work.
