If you have installed Euphoria according to the directions, you should be able
to type 'ed' at a DOS prompt (without the quotes), hit enter, and get a  message
back:
file name:

This indicates that the Euphoria editor is running. If you don't get this, then
the installation was not done correctly, and you'll have to try again.
Otherwise, type 'hello.ex' and hit enter

You should see a bar at top of screen, saying:
hello.ex (new file)                                     Esc for commands

In the blank space below, type:

puts(1, "Hello World")

hit ESC, then w to write the file to disk, then
ESC and e to execute the program you have just written.

The screen should clear, and the following appear:

Hello World

Press Enter...

If you get this, then it's working, Try running the demo programs, reading the
source, and maybe making small changes, so that you have a basic understanding
of  Euphoria syntax before trying graphics and other less than simple things.
