The good news is that I've been told multiple windows work. I spent some
time restructuring the internal data structures to be "multiple window
aware"; the two problems I was experiencing were:
1. Destroying windows would zap the resources associated with them, such as
menus. There is now an option to *hide* the window, so that's not a problem.
2. When Win32Lib was closed, there was still a task running in the
background. I think this has finally been fixed - there was a problem with
how I was closing the windows.
Bug me on Wednesday and I'll try to take a look again. I've been pouring all
my effort into WinMan; I hope to release a demo on Tuesday. After that, I'll
try to take care of all the other stuff I've been neglecting. 
I think you will also need to pass a modal window parameter to the dialog.
But it's not that difficult.

I've also got the source. Good luck - I'd love to see it done. The problem,
as far as I could understand it, was setting callbacks to Euphoria, so
Euphoria code would execute on a Tk event. You *do* have access to a single
callback address in EXW - but I couldn't figure out how to set the hook,
among the many other details.
