Hello,
I am new to Euphoria and read a fair bit of the documentation before downloading. Euphoria sounds like a great language and the documentation so far seems very well written.
I am having some issues with the default text editor - ED. I read in the manual, "press ESC and H for help commands" This does nothing on my pc, also after loading one of the demo programs in ED I can't navigate around the code my cursor is stuck at the top of the source.
I am using Windows 7, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for reading.
Kirk.

ED is more of an outdated editor. There are many other editors that better. You can find them in the archive. I'm using Windows Vista, and it seems the ED editor no longer seems to function. I've been using Judiath Evan's IDE.

Welcome Kirk,
I only use Euphoria on Linux, but since no one else has made a comment...
try ESCAPE + 'h' <<<< lower case:
Remember, ed.ex is a console editor - you move the cursor arround with the HOME/END, Page-UP/Down and the arrow keys. The mouse is not used at all.
More here: http://openeuphoria.org/docs/ed.html#_691_escapecommands
Good luck, Kenneth Rhodew

The current release has broken ED and handling of some keyboard keys for Windows users. This has been fixed and will be available in the next release.
If you are felling adventurous, you can download the current source files and build the executables yourself.

I had a feeling it might of been outdated, I will take alook at the archive and see what editors I like.

Thanks for the warm welcome I have tried using the HOME/END, Page-UP/DOWN keys seems like only ENTER works for me. I will take Long_EverGreen_Ranger's advice and pick a different IDE.

I might give this ago in the future when I have had some experience with the language.
Thanks everyone.
