See the book I recommended earlier / look in the documentation which
comes with a full install / search the web / study the C header files
for the specific library you're interested in.
The major packages such as GTK have an API, see the website.
I repeat: "Google is your friend".

I'm guessing that you got a dialog window which has at the top:
Open with:
then a drop-down list,
and below that, a tree-view type display titled: Known Applications.
Correct?
Well, if so, the answer is none of the above. You don't want to open exu,
using any other program, what you want is to run some euphoria source code
*using* exu.

You should start by using the text console.
There should be a small icon which looks like a computer
screen on the taskbar. The tooltip will say "terminal program".
Click that.
If you can't find that, look in the start menu for system/terminals/konsole.
That will open an xterm (which is like the DOS box in Windows).
In the xterm, type exu <enter>, and you'll
see the familiar Euphoria welcome message, along with a prompt:
"file name to execute?".

dir -- with the obvious results,
ls -- same as above.
ls -l -- long version (file dates, sizes, etc)
ls -a -- list all (including hidden files)
lsd -- list only directories,
cp file1 file2 -- copy
rm filex -- short for remove (del)
mv file1 /home/al/euphoria -- move file1 from the current directory to
/home/al/euphoria
Then use a text editor (kwrite is good) to create your Euphoria
"Hello World" program, and run it in the usual manner (exu hello).
Hope that helps.
