Like this:
new = old[1..length(old)-1] -- for Euphoria 2.4 and below
--or--
new = old[1..$-1] -- for Euphoria 2.5

The '$' is a shortcut for length() and is very useful. Length still works,
though, so you can still use it if you prefer or if it makes your code more
clear.

You can probably also guess how to remove an element from the beginning. Can you
think of how to take one out of the middle?
