Euphoria interpreter (ex.exe, exw.exe) can't be launched as a TSR. If you
need a TSR it doesn't matter if you poke it into memory... it'll never stay
resident after Euphoria terminates. Read the documentation, there it says
that if there's any allocate()-ed memory when your program ends, Euphoria
will free() it automatically, thus terminating the illusion. If you use
exw.exe (under win32) maybe there's a chance you can make something: leave
your Euphoria program running on one shell box (pseudo-TSR). I don't know
how you can interact with other shell boxes... but take a try, maybe it
works!
