It's really easy!
As you might know, a string is just a sequence of ASCII values in
Euphoria... so all sequence manipulations are allowed with "strings".
Example:
sequence A
sequence B
sequence C

A="Hello World!"
B="Goodbye World!"
C=A&B                   --Now C="Hello World!Goodbye World!"
C=A[1..5] & B[1..7]     --Now C="HelloGoodbye"

You see how simple it is?
If you're a Basic programmer, first think you must do is forget that
a STRING is a special Data Type. In Euphoria there're just ATOMS ans
SEQUENCES. If it's not clear this, please read the "Euphoria
Reference Manual", or ask me about what particulary subject you are
experiencing troubles.
