I'm (very) new to the list, and I was hoping you could tell me where i
could get come .EX files to study...  I have tried multiple times to
write in Euphoria, but to no avail, so my last-ditch effort is to gather
as much source as I can to analyze...  The only Inet access I have is
EMail, so if you (or if you know someone who would) could send me some
code, or if you know a way I can get it via email, I'd owe ya big...
