My problem is almost certainly due to the reason you mentioned 
below and is due to a bug in RHIDE 1.4 wich has been corrected( I 
think) in v1.4.7. 
Because I downloaded RHIDE 1.4.7 and when I generated the 
makefile  and ran make, it checked test.h and recompiled test.cpp.

You certainly are correct Eli, and here is the relevant part of the 
makefile generated by RHIDE 1.4.7 (wich had no problems).

all::
DEPS_0= test.o     <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
NO_LINK=
LINK_FILES=$(filter-out $(NO_LINK),$(DEPS_0))
test.exe:: $(DEPS_0)
        $(RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK)
DEPS_1=test.cpp j:/djgpp/include/stdio.h 
j:/djgpp/include/sys/djtypes.h\
        j:/djgpp/include/sys/version.h test.h
test.o:: $(DEPS_1)
        $(RHIDE_COMPILE.cpp.o)
all:: test.exe

As you can see (where I have marked <<<<<) d:\paint\test.o has 
been corrected (by v1.4.7) to just test.o and (as you suggested) 
therefore now works properly.

This certainly is my opinion is a bug in v1.4 wich has been 
remedied in v1.4.7. 

Why doesn't the zip-picker recommend RHIDE v1.4.7 instead of 
v1.4 ? AsI downloaded rhide14b.zip as the zip-picker suggested. I 
got v1.4.7 from Robert's site.

Once again many thank's to everyone who helped me in my 
problem and I really appreciate your assistance.
