Hi Dave, I got my basic Eu skills from "A beginners guide to Euphoria". Am not positive, but I believe it is included with Eu, in the tutorial folder. Also, be sure to read through the docs for Eu, there is invaluable info there. I believe there is also a compiled html version of the same tutorial in the RDS archives. But by far.. the best way to learn would be to just try and code stuff. That's how I learned. When you get stuck then you refer to the EU RefMan, or the tutorial. It's much easier to learn when you have something to apply it to.. Find things in the archive that interest you and just try and modify them, make em work the way YOU want. I personally think that the tutorial is fine. Without the hands-on of discovering yourself, you would become accustomed to relying on the tutorial, making it harder for you relate what you've learned. Rather than approaching a problem and understanding why you would need to do something a certain way, you would just do it that way because you were told to. As an analogy, if your father always sheltered you from ever experiencing anything bad, you would grow up, knowing that it is bad, but not really WHY it is bad. So... just DIG IN!! Just my opinion though. *SMILE* Also, there's a list full of people willing to help.... And like my 2'nd grade teacher used to say.... It's not stupid to ask questions, it's stupid not to..
