Wrong! Write your project, exit RHIDE to save it on disk (flush the
cache if you can do it) enter RHIDE again. Now crash the machine the
project will be there when you reboot.

That's needed just ones. And if you are creating a multifile program
you *need* a project with any IDE, isn't just with RHIDE.

You are doing something *very* wrong. Run RHIDE from the directory
where your sources are located, that's all. You only need to specify
the source dir if the files are located in more than one directory.

That's needed only in rhide.gpr, you don't need to setup it all the
time.

That's because you are wrongly using the projects and you are calling
RHIDE with "working directory" empty or pointing to the bin directory
(a very common error).
