Hello:
1. Write your program in any good text editor, and save it as, for
example:
MYPROG.EX (save as a text file, if you're using a Windows editor)
2. At the DOS prompt, type EX MYPROG - this byte-code compiles and runs
the prog.
3. Stand back. Well, ok, more likely, fix the typos and try again.
An editor comes with Euphoria (ed.ex) which you run by typing EX ED
followed
by the name of your program, i.e. EX ED MYPROG.EX. This is a good
editor, but
you will _REALLY_ want to download Dave Cuny's EE text editor from the
RDS
website. It makes writing, debugging and running Euphoria programs much
easier - multiple files, syntax highlighting, subroutine index, place
the
cursor on the error, all sorts of good stuff. (free of course)
If you did the automatic install of Euphoria, you do not have to be in
the
EUPHORIA\BIN directory (in fact, it's best to stay out of there). You
can
edit and run your programs from C:\EUPHORIA, or most anywhere you want.
Look at the programs on RDS' site, or on my Euphoria Archive site for
samples
to learn from. http://www.mindspring.com/~mountains
