                      Guide to Documentation Files
</font></_center>
<p>&nbsp;<br>

 The Euphoria documentation is spread over several plain text files in the
 <font color="#5500FF"><b>euphoria\doc</b></font> directory. For each
 <b>.doc</b> file in the <font color="#5500FF"><b>euphoria\doc</b></font>
 directory, there is a corresponding <b>.htm</b> file in the
 <font color="#5500FF"><b>euphoria\html</b></font> directory. You can also
 type <font color="#993333"><b>guru</b></font> to quickly search for relevant
 information from all directories under
 <font color="#5500FF"><b>\euphoria</b></font>. 

<p>
 Everyone should start with 
 <font color="#5500FF"><b>euphoria\readme.doc</b></font>
 (<font color="#5500FF"><b>euphoria\readme.htm</b></font>).
