I think it's probably better to start with the IDE, the same as it's probably
better to start with something like win23lib before trying to write your own
wrappers for the windows API.

The IDE will handle a lot of little details that will frustrate you and slow
you down.  As you code, the windows paradigm will become clearer, and you'll
also start to understand how to deal with it in Euphoria.  Just because you
start crawling, doesn't mean you can't learn to walk.
