I since ralf already showed you how to fix your dilemma, i won't, but instead, i'll welcome you to the world of computers and programming. You mentioned you've been only using computers for about a year, have you done any programming yet? If not, Euphoria may very well be the _best_ language to learn to program with. It's a fantastic teaching/learning language. And it's quite fun, and extremely powerfull. Hopefully, you have been getting the listserv for the past week or so, as Alan Tu has been authoring a rather nice introduction to Euphoria and programming in general. Please let us know if you haven't seen those messages, and I'm sure one of us can resend them to you. Another thing good for starting out, take some time, sit down, and slowly, carefully, read RefMan.Doc. Do not worry if you don't grasp the entire file right off. Heh, very few of us, including the experienced programmers of the group, fully digested the sublety on first read. But it's very helpfull to read that file first, then begin working with the David Gay "beginners guide to euphoria" tutorial. As an anecdote, my wife, who has had very little programming experience, worked with that tutorial and became able to 'tinker', if you will... Enjoy, have fun, ask questions, and one day, you'll be the one answering questions in this forum... take care--Hawke'
