I don't see how RHIDE could decide to remove these spaces.  It cannot 
possibly know whether the user does or doesn't want them to be retained.

Maybe an option to do that should be available, but only the user should 
set it.

Robert, what type of text does RHIDE use when working with the 
clipboard?  Is it TEXT or OEM_TEXT?  I have found that DOS programs
need to use OEM_TEXT, otherwise some nasty problems happen, not unlike 
those described above.

Another problem with pasting from Windows applications is the character 
set.  George, is it possible that the text you copy from Windows 
applications includes non-ASCII (e.g. Russian) letters?  If so, you 
cannot paste that to RHIDE, since the character sets used by Windows 
programs and by DOS programs are different.  At best you will have all 
non-ASCII characters replaced with underscores `_' or with blanks on the 
other side of the cut-and-paste operation.

It's called "Details".

Don't pay attention to this, it's probably because Windows simulates 
keyboard input when it pastes.

Please try to find some common factors to the cases which crash.

How many search string to save?  One? ten? hundred?

With such a long list of wishes, I think you should join the RHIDE 
development team.  Seriously.
