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).

Good luck

Mark
