Welcome to the list (and to euphoria) :)

Ok, sounds like the enviroment variables aren't set up properly:

For windows 95/98/ME
--------------------

*) Goto the start menu then select run, type in "sysedit" and press
enter.
*) Select autoexec.bat (it should be one of the windows that comes
up and add the following lines to the bottom (if c:\euphoria is not
where you installed euphoria then change it the correct path):

set EUDIR=c:\euphoria\
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\euphoria\bin

*) Close sysedit (saving) and restart your computer

For Windows 2000 (and probably NT as well, can't remember)

*) Goto Start Menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
then click the "Environment Variables" button
*) Click the top "New..." button then enter "EUDIR" as the Variable
Name and "c:\euphoria" (or whathever is correct) for the value then
click OK.
*) Find "Path" in the top list, select it then click "Edit..."
*) Add ";C:\euphoria" to the end of the value and click ok
*) Click ok twice more
*) It should work now :)


If you using Linux then I can't help you but there are loads of people
on this list who can...
