Running an X windows app from the command line won't work. It's just like
trying to run a windows program from the C:> prompt. without typing "WIN".

First you must start the X server, which is done by typing startx.
Then, using an xterminal, you can change to the correct directory, and type exu
program.name. Depending on the window manager you chose, you can also set up
buttons or icons or menu selections to run Euphoria programs.
