It's asking for an .ex file to execute. Enter the name of the .ex file you
want to run. For examples of .ex files to execute, look in directory to
c:\euphoria\tutorial. Once there, you can type "ex learn.ex" as one example

1)      reboot your PC
2) Go to the TUTORIAL directory.  (this is in the EUPHORIA directory)
3a)     Read TUTORIAL.DOC
3b)     type EX HELLO.EX
4)      Read TUTORIAL.DOC

in step 3b) use the keys at the top of the screen to move through the program
and/or view the what the program is doing


Have fun
David.

PS. Sorry about the shouting

Welcome:

Euphoria is an interpreter. It needs a program to interpret and execute.
There are several sample programs included as demos, and there are many,
many more to download from the "contributions" and "archives" pages on the
Euphoria web site.

However, the real fun is writing your own programs. You can use any plain
text editor (notepad, for example). Type in the two lines of text below and
save it as "hello.ex":

-- This is my first program
puts(1,"Hello, world!")

Once it is saved, then type "ex hello" (without the quotes) and see what
happens.

Only computer nerds will find that exciting, but it is a first step. The
next step is to read the files refman.doc and library.doc. These are worth
printing, you'll want to refer to them often. You'll also want to download
the excellent EE:CS editor from the Euphoria website. It makes programming
much easier.

Your next, and most difficult, step is to think of a useful program to
write. Can't help there, because what's useful to me probably wouldn't be
for you.

Irv Mullins

I bet you didn't read the manual.

Don't freak out just because it's a prog manual ;) ... the Euphoria manual
is the simplest I've ever seen. There's no excuse for not reading it.
