Make sure that you are working with the latest versions of the DJGPP
programs.  The current version of RHIDE is compiled with DJGPP v2.01,
which uses a different and incompatible method of passing long command
lines to programs than v2.00.  There are enough improvements from 2.00
to 2.01 that I highly suggest upgrading.

Get the latest 'readme.1st' from SimTel to see what file versions you
need to download.  You can safely install 2.01 over 2.00, but to be safe
you should delete your old installation or install in a new directory. 
Also, because of the command line thing, you must upgrade ALL of your
DJGPP programs to 2.01.
