Welcome: Euphoria is an interpreter. It needs a program to interpret and execute. There are several sample programs included as demos, and there are many, many more to download from the "contributions" and "archives" pages on the Euphoria web site. However, the real fun is writing your own programs. You can use any plain text editor (notepad, for example). Type in the two lines of text below and save it as "hello.ex": -- This is my first program puts(1,"Hello, world!") Once it is saved, then type "ex hello" (without the quotes) and see what happens. Only computer nerds will find that exciting, but it is a first step. The next step is to read the files refman.doc and library.doc. These are worth printing, you'll want to refer to them often. You'll also want to download the excellent EE:CS editor from the Euphoria website. It makes programming much easier. Your next, and most difficult, step is to think of a useful program to write. Can't help there, because what's useful to me probably wouldn't be for you. Regards, Irv Mullins
