Hello!

My problem concerns RHIDE not returning properly to text mode when exitting
(or when dos-shell'ing).

I have taken a look at previous postings and the message archives but haven't
found a working solution to my problem, so here goes:

Whenever RHIDE (v1.4) exits to dos, or dos-shells, or Runs a program that uses
text mode, I get a blank screen (totally black).
Setting the -S or -G # command line attribs has no effect.
This occurs when I am running in a dos box (under win95) in full screen, or
when booting to 'Command Prompt only', and the screen mode RHIDE uses doent 
effect it either.

Currently I resort to ruinning a little program that just sets text mode
(using interrupt) to get my screen working again after quiting .. but this
doesnt help when dos-shelling or running programs from RHIDE.

I have a Matrox Millenium II (4mb) vid.card and a fairly run of the mill
system configureation ( I dont load any strange drivers or anyhting).      


Can anyone help me out here??

Thanks,
Mike.
