I've seen the problem, but I don't have 1.2a- I'm going to wait a bit,
because I'm doing well with 1.2. This "project related problem" is
strictly a nuisance for me- I simply close project as my first order
of buisness, then load up settings and code. Takes 2 seconds, and the
"problem" is no more.
I wish I could help with how to replicate the problem- right now, I
don't have it, haven't seen it for days. Maybe tomorrow I will again-
I am not sure what potentiates it.. It is odd, and seems to have
something to do with Rhide looking in the PRG files an arbitrary
directory one-up from where I am, using settings files there which I
don't even remember having made. When I have the problem, Rhide looks
in that directory for source, even though I didn't launch from there,
and the only way I can keep it from looking in there is by doing a
Close Project.
I'm sorry, I know this is too vague to be helpful. I'll keep my eyes
open for when it happens again.

I tend to use RUN like I would MAKE ALL or COMPILE for short programs;
I just let RUN do the work, so many times I don't have an EXE waiting
for me.

Hmmm... I still wonder if what I am seeing as a bug is really a
feature that I am not using correctly. This doesn't completely clear
that up. But Rhide is great, and I'm happy to use it.
