Hi David. Do you have a bit of experience with DOS and selecting paths from DOS? I ask because many windows users are not and this can often be a source of frustration. It seems to me that it is your "demo" file that can't be found not ex/exw. Assuming you did a standard install and everything is where it should be then please try the following. 1. Bring up the DOS prompt. 2. type in the following ..... cd c:\euphoria\demo 3. type in the following...... ex animal Did that work? If it didn't let us know. If it did then also let us know and we can help to set up a better work environment for you.....there are better ways to run your code than from the DOS prompt (and although many like ED I think there are better editors for a newbie).
