You underestimate programming. There's no way on earth you could just
pick up a programming language and start programming. You have to LEARN
how to program. You say you are familiar with BASIC. Does that mean you
know what BASIC is, or does that mean you can write a program in BASIC?
The Euphoria documentation is fine. There are tons of sample programs in
the archive, all of which can serve as teachers.
Maybe you need a "from the very start" kind of tutorial. This might
serve you well: http://www.cklester.com/books/. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me here or via email.
And, of course, this list is visited by a lot of Euphoria gurus. But you
can't just ask, "How do I write a horse racing program?" That requires a
book to answer... many parts of which are already available in the
documentation and archive. (Here, you can expect sentences, paragraphs,
and pages of help, but an entire book?!)
