At first I must say, your post is one of the best I have ever seen for
reporting problems, whishes and bugs. I will try to answer some of the 
questions the others I will try to fix (if possible for me).

As far as I remember, this appears, when you change the video mode to a
new
mode with more coloumns than the old.

This is, because this function uses real regular expressions (do not
think
about the wildcards from MS-DOS). The regex "*" means: nothing repeated
any count. If you want to get a list, which maches all, you have to
there
either nothing or ".*" which means: any character repeated any count.

> 3. In Info Viewer "Search/Goto Line..." is not disabled although it does
Becuase I have added in the last many commands to RHIDE, I forgot to
update
the en-/disabling of the commands.

> 10. You can't (or at least I couldn't) open (using "File/Open" command) files

This is a "feature" of DJGPP. My be this will be changed or not becuase,
if
you interpret the wildcard "*.*" correct, so it means a filename, which
has
something before a dot and something after a dot and the name "makefile"
does not match this wildcard. To get all files, you should use the
wildcard "*".

> 2. "Help" should move to separate menu instead of being submenu of "File"
I would do it, but in some languages the menu titles are longer than the
english words and in that case the menubar would be larger than 80
characters
(the free memory is shown also in the menu bar).

> 5. If You choose "Project/Primary file" and then type some nonsense there

This is correct, becuase that menu entry makes sense ONLY when building
a
pascal program and then it used as the primary file for the "automake"
feature of GPC. When programming in any other language you don't need a
"Primary file".

> 7. In info file describing pull-down menus menu "Debug" is omited.
Oh thanks.

> 1. Searching in info files
When the help window is opened, hit Ctr+S. (Hit F1 for getting help
about the
INFO viewer, but this assumes that you have installed the file
"infview.inf"
from Beta5).

> 2. Build-in support for Flex and Bison
If I have the time.
