You're absolutely right, Ralf. I was going to put a print/export feature in
the tutorial, but I never got around to doing so. Perhaps Adam's tutorial
can dump out a chapter, range of chapters, or the whole thing in a printable
format like HTML or text. What would really be great is if it can be
exported out in .PDF for Adobe Reader, but that would involve a good
knowledge of the PDF format.

Separate would work. Another would be to take a page out of the book of the
other tutorials where they say "if you have never programmed before, keep
reading. If you have previous experience in another programming language,
slip Programming 101 and start at the next chapter", or something to that
effect. It would be one "book", but would have the ability to teach the
person at different starting points depending on each person's background.
It would also handle a teaching method you suggested a while back where one
is taught how to program using Euphoria, rather than the approach my
tutorial took and expanded on the manual RDS supplied using layman's terms.
