Now I'm getting somewhere. First thing first. To answer your question, I 
did run your demos. The .exe demo both produce the little error window 
"Couldn't connect to server......" but upon pressing OK works alright. 
The 2 .exw work ok. I included printf(1,"%d\n",{1})at the beginning of 
connect.ew. Now for my stuff:

--My code
include connect.ew
ServerPrint("Hello1")
ServerPrint("hello2"
--End code
Then...
Start DisplayServer201.exe
Start my prog TESTDISP.exw
Get a 1 on top of the window console plus the little error window 
"Couldn't connect to server......"
Click the little window OK button (it disappears) then the window 
console fills (after 1) with this:
1
0
2860
49623
c:\...........
Syntax error - expected to see possibly ')', not the end of file.
<end-of-file>
press enter...

Thanks for your patience.
