Hello again,

Ok thanks.
What you could do next is put 
    printf(1,"%d\n",{1})
at the very START of the connect.ew file.
If the console doesnt open up now when you run your file
with the connect file included, then you have to be using
the wrong connect.ew file.  That is, as you mentioned having
several copies, the wrong one must be running.
I'm pretty sure the only file you should have to 
change is the one in the same directory as your exw file.
If you want, put some other stuff in there too to print to
the console window once it starts up.

As you said, this is very basic so you should be able to get
something to print to the console from the connect file.

Also, just a side note:
The Display Server doesnt WRITE to your processes memory,
it only READS it, so it's not likely that something is getting
overwritten.

BTW, did you try to run any of the demos first?

Take care for now,
Al
