Guide to Documentation Files The Euphoria documentation is spread over several plain text files in the euphoria\doc directory. For each .doc file in the euphoria\doc directory, there is a corresponding .htm file in the euphoria\html directory. You can also type guru to quickly search for relevant information from all directories under \euphoria. Everyone should start with euphoria\readme.doc (euphoria\readme.htm).
