Hallo! Please give me some help to get started. I think I need both an editor to write or at first to test programs I aquire to see how they operate. I would also like to understand how to get an IDE up and running. Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards, forkinpm.

Hi
Prepared this a little while ago, for the complete beginner.
http://www.box.net/shared/u18aiv9xln
It installs euphoria, win32 lib, and ide104 and sets the paths for all the includes etc etc (don't worry about what that means for now)
Included in this is the euphoria command line editor, and in the ide folder a stand alone windows editor. You can also use if to create GUIs (graphical user interfaces, boxes, buttons, lists etc)
Install it, read the readme s (explore the directory structure), and try running the demos.
To run the demos - double clicking on a file doesn't always work (it will with the windows programs though, if installed from the program above), but often you won't get to see the errors produced by faulty programs.
You therefore need to open a dos box and navigate to the folder to run the programs.
If you can't work out how to do that, let me know, and I'll walk you through it.
Chris

Hallo to you ChrisB!
and thank you very much for a prompt and explicit response.
I was intending to post the following message today, but have still downloaded your file from "The Box":
Hallo to you all!
Yesterday I posted a message asking for some guidance on the choice of an IDE for use with Euphoria. I have in the meantime found out what had caused my problem and have installed the standard IDE.
Naturally I want to get up and running with my first project. It is to create a Euphoria DB, into which I can import an english to german tagged dictionary, that I am creating as a CSV file. Into the database I will then want to have search scripts.
Anyone who is experienced in this field, who has written such scripts and can spare a little time to give me some help and guidance, is most welcome to offer that help. In the final analysis I would share my results with any helpers.
Chris, I am writing a document on what I want to do with Euphoria.
It might have interesting ideas for others who have learnt to program in Euphoria. I will send you a copy of the initial release and each update over the next weeks.
My goal is to create with an RTF editor and Euphoria a professional user's tool-set which would support a whole set of his or her daily work activities.
Thanks and regards, forkinpm.
