1. Installing Euphoria
I'll admit I'm pretty much a linux newbie. I'm running on Lindows OS and I've
used Euphoria before when I was running Windows.
My problem is that I want to install Euphoria on my Lindows computer now, but I
don't know how to do this. I've tried using command line, but it doesn't seem to
be working.
Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

I do not believe anyone here is running Lindows.
Euphoria does run on every distribution of Linux that anyone's tried,
so theoretically it should work on Lindows as well.
Can you give better description than "it doesn't seem to work"?
That might help narrow things down a little.

Well, as far as I know Lindows is Debian based, if it helps any. I downloaded
it and read the Linux installation instructions, which involve adding the
Euphoria bin to the user path through the command line. However, I get no
results, but I don't get any errors either. It just awaits another command
afterwards.

You should add at least the following lines to your .bash_profile file:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/euphoria/bin
EUDIR=$HOME/euphoria
EUINC=$HOME/euphoria/include
export PATH EUDIR EUINC
Then you can log out, and back in, and the changes will take effect.
After that, try just typing exu at a prompt.
What you see when you do that will indicate what to do next.
Hopefully, you'll see:

file name to execute?
If something is installed in the wrong place, you may see something like:
bash: exu command not found
Give that a try.

In some Linux environments, a program might open
a new window, display some text, and then close the
window so fast that you don't realize that the
program has even run. You just see the next command prompt.
Try adding something like:
if getc(0) then
end if
at the end of the program, so the window won't disappear
until you press a key.

Well, it still didn't work. Thanks anyway, though 
I'll have to worry about this problem later, though. There are other things
that are begging for my attention, and programming is the least important of
them.
