I believe I found a fix to the problem.  The setting:
SET DJGPP=E:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV   or
SET DJGPP=E:/DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV
in autoexec.bat
When DJGPP is installed in E:\DJGPP, was simply not working on my system.
So instead, I put, in autoexec.bat, the line
e:\djgpp\bin\setdjgpp.bat e:\djgpp e:/djgpp
which configures the setting each time at startup.  Having done that
everything is working fine and smoothly with the original djgpp.env.  I do
not know if that is the way I was supposed to do it from the start.  If it
was, then sorry for all the trouble caused by this posting, and, anyway,
thanks for all those who offered to help.  Things are running smoothly now
in DOS and win95 using the command line and RHIDE.  Thanks again.  This
whole thing, DJGPP package and RHIDE is quite an impressive work along with
the graphics libraries and cwsdpmi, now that I can use everything in the
usual and regular fashion.
