Well,I finally decided to answer that...
It took me a while,cause I realised I was kinda wrong ;) oups...

Yes,you're not a total newcomer!You allready used somethin else!
That's my problem too!I'm used to TC++ which is totally different from
djgpp.But for someone who really is a newcomer,and is not used with
somethin else,maybe it's not that confusing.

That's right,RHIDE is different than TC++ IDE,and it's hard to get along
with it(until now,anyway,but it may change).

You're not stupid and it doesn't really *suck*.The problem is,It's
different than the others...
