[SNIP]

   Either of my Dos text editor, edit or e, will not seemingly store
   the tab character that is needed at the beginning of a make file 
   command line. I had to resort to using a windows app. Is there
   a way to configure either of these editors so I can write make files
   with them.

In DOS edit (if you MUST use it) ^P<TAB> will insert a tab which will show up
as a small hollow circular bullet.

   Another question is to everyone: what is the best way to view
   and edit all of your program files and still have access to dos
   for the command line to make or run (aside from Rhide). What I've been doing
   is opening files from windows with notepad and then editing them, but
   the limitation of this is I can't save the changes easily. What is 
   the best editor or editor of your choice to do this? (Also is there a djgpp
   command line option to make and run at the same time?)

I like emacs.  It can run make for you, capture errors and point you to them in
the source.  I won't restart the editor/IDE holy war by stating that emacs is 
the BEST programmers editor/environment, so don't ask me.
