Hi Alexa,
  Welcome to our community =)
  I hope i can help with my answer if i don't, i'm sure someone else
can.
  1) Enter http://www.rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm and search for EFL.
It's a modification to euphoria's editor so it can support foreign
languages. You can tweak it to fill your need =)
  2) Not sure about that, i just simply call it "euphoric magic".

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
    Guillermo Bonvehi
