Thanks Irv.
Im almost ready to try this.
Im also going to see if this linux version will save settings
to the little jump drive.  That will be nice too.  If not,
i'll still be trying the Euphoria Linux.
Thanks for all the help/ideas/suggestions!

I was thinking, maybe my first Euphoria on Linux program could
be something simple, like
"Goodbye Windows"

Ha, ha, ha, etc. 

Take care for now,
Al
