hi,

first off, let me say that i really appreciate the new features in rhide 
... not the least of which is to the ability to use 90x34 screens. i have 
a couple of questions mainly aimed at seeing if it is something i am 
doing that causes the following problems.

a. when i highlight an area of text (using shift-arrow keys), i expect 
that area to be cleared if i then type something or press del or 
backspace. in fact, the previous version of rhide exhibited this 
behavior. unfortunately, this doesn't work in the current version on my 
computer.

b. when i press the tab key, say 3 times, to advance to a certain 
position in a line, i expect to be able to go back to the previous 
position by pressing the left arrow key 3 times. again, this was the 
behavior in the previous version, but somehow it doesn't work in the 
current version.

also, rhide did not seem to restore the video mode to standard co80 on a 
few occasions. however, since i could not consistently reproduce the 
problem, i do not know if this was due to something else i might have 
been doing.

as for (a) and (b), i tried those with several combinations of the 
following options turned on and off: use real tabs, c-style indent and 
autoindent.

is it me or these some minor bugs.

my thanks again go to robert hoehne.

sinan.
