If you installed Euphoria per the instructions found in install.doc, then 
you should be able to run any file you own which has the first line of 

#!/home/irv/euphoria/bin/exu

-- replace the "irv" with your user name in this and the following:

provided that execute permission is set on the file.
chmod 777 myfile.exu     will do that.

Verify that things have been set up properly by typing 
echo $PATH 
and see if /home/irv/euphoria/bin appears in that path list,
then type echo $EUDIR and you should see /home/irv/euphoria

Try this test:

include file.e
 
? chdir("/home/irv/euphoria/doc")
system("ls -l",0)   

You should see :
1

Press Enter...

Do that, and you should see a listing of the Euphoria doc files.
Once the program ends, however, you will NOT be left in the
/home/irv/euphoria/doc directory. You'll be back where you started.
This is normal.
