1. Euphoria won't work!
No, I am not stupid. I read all of the stuff that told me how to use this
but it just gives me a message, "Can't open [filename].ex" Why will they
not open (the demo programs or anything that ends in .ex) Anything you
suggest is most likely something I have tried. I do not understand how this
works for anyone! I hope someone can help.
Sincerely,
Nathan

Try this:
open a DOS-prompt window
type:
cd \euphoria\bin
ex key
Does it run the key.ex program?
If not, then tell us the *exact* error message
that appears on your screen.

Check your Autoexec.bat file to be sure the following two lines are in it.
SET EUDIR=C:\EUPHORIA
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\EUPHORIA\BIN
Else, open Windows Explorer and click 'View', then 'Options...'
When the Options Window appears - click on 'File Types'
Look in the 'Registered file types:' box and see if 'ex File' and 'exw
File' are listed.
Final suggestion, blame Microsoft for their crappy programming skills...

Yes, the key.ex program works, but that is because there is already an
executable file that works the same way without using a DOS Prompt window.

Nope, neither the ex or exw ones are in the regestered file types. So, what
is wrong?

that'd be "ex c:\euphoria\demo\sanity.ex", without the quotes.
