1. Variable declaration versus assignment

Nope. That's not the problem, because I ran GT1.EX and GT2.EX outside the
tutorial. They are designed to be run separately from the tutorial. These
programs scan for the available and unavailable video modes on your card.

Of course, I will try to help :)
First of all, declaring a variable does not involve assigning a value for
it. It's telling Euphoria a) what name it is, and b) what type it is. I
hope you are not trying to assign a value to c when you are declaring it.
That is a no-no. Here is an program using your atom c variable as an
example:
atom c
c = 50
c = c + 1
print(1,c)
puts(1,'\n')
Pretty easy stuff. First declare C as an atom, then assign a value to it.
Euphoria hates it when you try to use uninitialized variables in a
calculation. This program will output a value of 51. The following puts()
is just to do a linefeed.

It's okay. I tell people to do that when they want a hardcopy to take to
school or work with them instead of lugging the whole software with them.
Hope this helps. If not, write here again and we will try to help again. :)
