No, registering Euphoria will not magically increase your programming
skills. Only practice can do that. But it definitely helps to have
debugging capabilities over 300 lines. Once you start coding larger
projects, this is something you must have to save on development time.

Yes

See http://www.rapideuphoria.com/reg.htm for more info.
$40 (for DOS32 and Win32) isn't much at all to pay for good development
software. Perhaps if you can show your parents what you can do with the
shareware version, you might be able to talk them into getting it for you
as a gift. Tell them about how educational it is and how interested you
are in it. Then point out how much some other development software costs
these days (i.e. hundreds of dollars). I don't know of too many parents
who wouldn't spend $40 dollars for 'educational software'. Heck, that's
less than most Nintendo64 games.
Not to mention that you could write your own shareware programs and try to
earn that money to repay them... (unfortunately, software needs to be quite
sophisticated these days to get people to pay for it, but it doesn't hurt
to try).
