It is not so easy. This possibility is disabled in DJGPP version
of rhide as libdbg.a from both djdev201.zip and djdev202.zip does 
not provide hooking exceptions needed for this. Handling SIGINT
is enabled in Linux version of rhide-1.4.7 but that is different topic.

To get exceptions working (including SIGINT) in rhide one should
	- adding exceptions support to src/debug/common/dbgcom.c
          (djlsr202.zip). 
        - rebuild rhide with modified libdbg.a (I don't know if 
          libgdb.a available from Robert's Hoehne homepage will
          allow this but I had to additionally hack gdb-4.17 to 
          get this working)

I (and not only I) have made some experiments in that direction
but under Win9X about 5% of attempts to interrupt program execution
with Ctrl-C causes program freezing.
