I just finished installing DJGPP 2.01 and RHIDE 1.2 and I've noticed a few 
features I would like to see in a future release of rhide:

1) There is no print option for the current contents of the editor.

2) I like the feature of redirecting stdout into a separate window that you can
   scroll back and forth through. Being limited to 24 lines in the user screen is
   one reason that I typically stay away from Borland products. Is it possible to
   extend this feature? Is is possible to save the contents of this output window
   to a file or to print it? And better yet, is it possible to capture both the
   stdout and the echoed input and make a complete report of the execution,
   somewhat like the unix 'script' command? I often want my students to turn in
   a record of a sample execution of their programs, and it can be very difficult
   to stop the output every 24 lines to do a print screen. I usually have to use
   Microsoft products to accomplish this, but I would dearly like to shift over
   to using the GNU compilers if I can use an ide that satisfies my needs.

Please let me know if these new features are possible, and if so, if they are on
the Todo list.

Thanks for all the hard work on rhide so far, and I hope it only gets better.
