After testing the latest version of RHIDE I've discovered
a couple of flows.
First, the smal icon on the left bottom part of the window
(which appears whenever the code is changed) seems to flicker
every time I use the arrows, this is quite disturbing and I'm
surprised the author didn't notice that.
Also, I tend to use "shift" quite often (if to capitlize letters
or to use the &,|,! keys) so I tend to keep it pressed while
pressing space afterwards, in all other editors/ide's, it seems
to operate as space, where in RHIDE it doesn't do a thing, which
upsets me all the time.
One last thing I've noticed is when you press '5' on the numeric
keypad, you receive the character 240, where nothing should appear
at all (it sometimes happens to me when using the arrows - which,
again, bothers me alot).
I was also surprised to find out that there's no "save options" item
on the menus, since I'd like to start RHIDE with some default options
without resetting them all the time or creating projects files all
the time.

  I hope the author takes these remarks into his notice
  and correct them in the next release.

BTW: Does anyone know where I can get a GOOD XLIB emulation
for DJGPP2.0 with GRX2.0 ?

Yours, H.S.
