I'm confused as to why this would be neccessary - I have a UK keyboard,
and it works just fine with Rhide. I imagine Rhide uses DOS functions
for keyboard access, so all you need to do is configure your machine
properly and it should work. I'm no DOS guru, but the relevant lines
from my system seem to be:

in config.sys: 
        device=c:\msdos\display.sys CON=(EGA,,1)
        country=044,437,c:\msdos\country.sys

in autoexec.bat:
        mode con codepage prepare=((437) c:\windows\command\ega.cpi)
        keyb uk
