Aren't we all!  Look, first things first, a hebrew/english text editor is not
exactly the project to someone VERY new to Euphoria.  Great idea, though!  One
problem is that Euphoria probably doesn't support the built-in hebrew on your
computer, so you first have to find a way to mesh it in there. (don't ask me,
I'm new too!) If you want my opinion, try making a just-english text editor
first, then go ahead and try making a hebrew one.  Only if you can make
these should you try to mix them together.  Good Luck!
