Okay, first I want to thank you all for the help I have gotten so far.
Although I have not gotten a response about the sockets yet, I
downloaded a copy of euphoria to begin to play.. All I can say is, HELP!
(well, at least something like 'hey would you point me in the correct
direction) I am running under linux, tar'd the download and followed
directions, yet when I try to EX any file it always comes up with the
exact same situation. A prompt appears that states I am entering EX mode
and to type VISUAL to get out, yet where did the program run? This
output is the exact same if I try hello.ex or any of the other
tutorials. Is it just not loading the correct program or am I just being
the complete idiot I think I am?
Thanks,
Paul
(P.S. Anyone know where to get this beginners guide they talk about in
the docs? I have yet to find it online. thanks)

I do the same thing myself sometimes.
Linux already has a command called "ex" (some kind of editor),
so on Linux, Euphoria is named "exu".

It's in the Archive in the Documentation section:
http://members.aol.com/Euphoria2/abgte2.zip
pkunzip it with -d, or use WinZip.

Or perhaps 'unzip -d <dirname> foo.zip' since you appear to be
using Linux.

That problem having been solved by Rob, let me suggest some things which will
make life easier:
1. Download Dave Cuny's EE editor for Linux.
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/ee_mods.zip
Everybody needs this.
2. Download Pete Eberlein's "Call remote routines" library
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/rdc.zip
This allows you to write, with just a few lines of code, a server which can
export routine id's (functions/procedures) to client programs,which can then
call the functions/procedures (via sockets) as if they were routines in the
client program. This has great possibilities, but as far as I know, no one has
yet exploited them. Your mud sounds as if it would be a good prospect for this
kind of thing.

I missed something,, who asked for sockets help recently?

6. Re: Just some help getting started..
Actually I did. I am now about 10 hours into learning Euphoria on linux and
where 2 days ago I was saying HELP, now I am saying YES!
I can't believe how easy this language is.. And that editor function to be
able to view all the values of the variables and sequences... Dear god that is
a life saver..
Thank you to everyone who helped me so far!!
To Irv Mullins I say thank you especially, the links you provided me to those
two programs have helped me a lot.
Yet still I am having a little bit of trouble with establishing the telnet
connection and handling it. I am guessing (guessing remember) that I can use
commands like puts() to send messages to certain telnet connections, or at
least once I have tag to send it to.. Something like the file system.. But of
course, only being 10 hours into the language, this is all my wild
imagination.. Is there anyone out there that has some experience with telnet
connections and sockets in Linux that could give me some advice?
Thanks again in advance to anyone who bothered to actually read all the way
through this! :)

Rob has posted a crude and quickly written example of how to use Pete
Eberlein's RDC.e to set up a Euphoria server and Euphoria clients which
can communicate via sockets. It is posted on the RDS website:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/wordgame.zip
Bear in mind that this is not intended to be fun, but simply a demo of how a
client can call procedures and functions in a (possibly remote) server.
By converting the client program to run in xWindows, it should be possible to
build a nicer client interface than you could get with telnet. (graphics,
buttons, gifs, etc....)

I meant to say "my" crude and quickly written example.
But you probably figured that out when you got to the
"crude and quickly written" part ;)
