Hello David,
after you downloaded Euphoria, can you describe in detail what you did to
install it? At this stage, it sounds like it hasn't been installed
correctly.

I'm assuming you installed it in the C:\EUPHORIA directory. In which case
your DOS path should have this directory included in it. Do you know how to
update your DOS PATH?

Euphoria's EX program is a DOS program. It runs from the DOS prompt.

Which editor are you referring to?

Do you have the DOS environment variable EUDIR set up to point to the
directory in which you installed Euphoria?
eg.  EUDIR=C:\EUPHORIA
