I tried your program. It worked fine except for the
extra line feed created when the user hits Enter on the
last line of the screen and DOS scrolls the screen.
It doesn't happen with exw.
It's a "feature" of DOS that has been reported
to me before. I don't plan to change Euphoria to
compensate for it. You can use position() if you
really have to control the line spacing.
