Greetings all,
I have a Pentium Pro 180 MHz with 32 MB of memory with 68% systrem resource
free.  I am using Windows 95 and RHIDE to compile and run, but sometimes I
lose mouse control of the cursor and/or to control the interface. I can
still use the "Alt-F" and "TAB" key approach.  The system isn't hung, it's
just the mouse that fails for RHIDE only.  I can quit RHIDE and the mouse is
still working  for Windows and I can get back into RHIDE where the cursor
begins working properly again.

Typically this is what happens:
* From windows I select the icon that starts up RHIDE in Full-screen mode.
* I left-click on OK in the "About RHIDE" window.
* I select (left-click) File/Open, left-click  on "hello.cpp" to hi-lite it
and left-click on "Open".  A window appears with the "hello.cpp" source.  So
far so good.
* I left-click on "Run" on the command menu and then left-click on "Run"
again in the pop-up panel.  The compile succeeds and an "Information" popup
window appears with an "Ok".
  At this point (too often), I no longer have mouse control.  I can use
Alt-F5 to see the user screen to see the program output.  The program has
successfully run.  I hit "Esc" to return to RHIDE.  But the mouse is still
useless within RHIDE.  Has anyone else experienced this? What may be causing
this?  Is it preferable to run RHIDE is "Full-screen" mode, in a "window",
or reboot in DOS mode?
