Though some are actually enjoying their vacation (until their parents get
home .. 
.. its quite a big quesiton you ask here.
There *is* a tutorial out already handeling most commands. Im not sure it
talks about all the new commands like routine pointers and windows
programming. Its at least accurate till Euphoria 1.5a
The link can be found of the "other sites related to Euphoria" on the RDS'
site: members.aol.com/FilesEU
Its called 'The beginners guide to Euphoria' by David Guy (hmm .. Im not
*that* sure about the name.. might have mispelled it.. sorry in advance.. im
consious in my perceiver-room in my brain.. in other words: im not good with
names)
It doesnt even expect you to know any programming language proir to
Euphoria.
And off course, go look at other people's code.
If a question pops up, just ask it.
Robert, what about summing up all the questions on the list-serv the past
so-many years and make it into an FAQ.. ?
Maybe with a sum of the discussions on the suggestions.
People can easily see the advantage of Euphoria that way.
Oh and offcourse, if there's a question you cant find an answer for, we're
here.
PS. Give Nate a break. He now learns about things like this, maybe trying to
figure out what he thinks of it or maybe he just mixed up nazi's with
german's when he asked for them after seeing the 'b'-thingie .. anyways, it
was off topic, but so are many other messages here.
Plus, even if he considers himself a nazi. Its based on a belief a certain
race is better than another. And like any other belief, you cant prove it,
but you have the right to believe it. It isnt more sick or healthy than any
other belief, though it may have more 'negative' consequences.

Yes. "A Beginner's Guide to Euphoria II" - it's a good way to start.
Also, don't forget that you have complete documentation of all commands
in the euphoria/doc subdirectory. As with any language, it's a good
idea to skim thru this documentation, so you will have some clue where
to start when you need to find the way to do _X_ in your program.

I good idea. Most questions have been answered more than once,
but you can't blame a new Euphorian for asking them again.
Also, there are many useful routines "buried" in the
user-contributed programs- if someone would extract the questions/
answers/routines and organize them into categories, it would be a great
help.
Unfortunately, I think Robert probably has more than enough work to do
already without taking on that task.
I will volunteer to do *part* of this work. Anyone else interested?
E-maii me, we can make a list of categories, and divide them up.
I will gladly supply the web space to post the FAQs/Hints/How-to's.

This seems especially important if the Linux folks will be joining us!
