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.
