Re: Newbie trying to use the IDE

Ah, I've found it. Thank you very much.
I am finding, though, that just to do something very simple with Euphoria I'm having to look in several different places to get the information I need. I discovered at the outset that I needed to do something with "getc" to stop the console disappearing after executing a program, but it took a little while longer to find out that I first had to put "include get.e" at the beginning. Then it was "OK, I can get it to print something on the console, now how about in a textbox in a window" and that took more research and a question to the forum. Now I've got that basic info, I'm up and running and hopefully will enjoy learning and using Euphoria, but for a newbie and hobbyist it is frustrating to have to go through all that just to do something simple.
Good point. What I (still) do is set up a short-cut to a tabbed browser of your choice, then open the Euphoria, Win32Lib, and IDE help files in different tabs in that browser, then specify work offline for it, and also to start it with the last tabs opened. That way I just click on ONE thing on my desktop, and I have all three manuals right there to switch easily between as I need to. (And I need to!)
