David,

Euphoria is easy to learn, at least the more or less basic things. Please=
,
don't give up, but tell us the things you find difficult to understand. I=

am volunteering to help you learn it, and if there are things we both don=
't
understand (there certainly will be),
than we can ask some guru's to enlighten us.

Have you read the BASIC.DOC file? I think a big problem when you're
'upgrading' from basic is the declaration and than initialising of
variables. If you've not already done so, please download 'A beginners
guide to Euphoria' and work through it.
What sort of things do you want to do in Euphoria? If you have an idea
about what you want to program, first write it down in plain English(or
your mother tongue, if it isn't English). Than ask yourself: How would I =
do
that in basic? If you know how to write a (sub)program in basic, then
writing that routine in euphoria doesn't make a big difference, in most o=
f
the cases.

When I'm not sure something I wrote in Euphoria is actually working, I ju=
st
test it line by line and put ? or print() or puts() statements in between=

them. Do you understand what I mean? I suggest you try it again, and don'=
t
be afraid to ask questions on this listserver, that's what it is meant fo=
r!

Hope to hear from you soon
