Oh don't I?  Programming is teaching a computer how to do something.  
The computer is stupid, it doesn't speak English, you have to teach it
/everything/

Like someone who is autistic?  Or perhaps you might mean someone who has senile
dementia?

I never said "make me a game"  I said I wanted to create a game but I had
no idea how to do that using Euphoria.  I've tried to read the manual.  I've 
tried looking at the demos.  I've tried following emailed instructions.
and somehow miraculously enough I still cannot understand this "easy" language.

And if this is how you treat someone who stated that they were a Newbie, then 
good luck, and goodbye.
