Have you taken a look at prompt_number() and prompt_string()?

I think you're confusing "Euphoria" the language with all of its libraries.
It's true that no one completely understands all of the code that various 
users have created.  But the language itself is actually very simple.

Also, asking questions on this list about Euphoria is definitely *not*
spamming.  There will almost always be at least one person around who will
get back to you quickly with a helpful reply.  It's a pretty good and 
helpful community.
