You can get started here: Set Up the Euphoria Configuration File

Looking at that documentation for the configuration file I see that "-c" will execute another configuration file, which subsequent commands may override. If the same configuration file is invoked again, it will not be executed again, which contradicts the statement that later commands override earlier ones. Presumably this behaviour cannot be changed for compatibility reasons. However, it should be emphasized in the documentation.

I have a second draft proposal for changes to the documentation put up on the Wiki. Hopefully it untangles how eu.cfg files work.
It turns out that saying "subsequent commands may override previous commands" is an over simplification. Some switches will override, others will shadow, and it is possible for switches to accumulate data.
If a configuration file could be read more than once, then it would be possible to have an endless loop. I now mention this possibility in the documentation. Notice that include files are read only once.
