The default keypresses in rhide for those operations are also the same in
most windows programs, too. If you get used to using them instead (in both
windows and rhide), you might not find the CTRL+C issue to be much of a
problem. Many windows programs list only the CTRL+KEY shortcuts you
specified, but also support the key shortcuts used by default in rhide (for
cut./copy/paste that is).

Yes that's usually what you use CTRL+C for in dos and console windows
programs, especially when a bug in the program prevents it from being
terminated normally, but you wouldn't want it to terminate rhide itself
which is why it has code to handle that event. The default behavior would
terminate both child and parent (rhide) programs.

You can invoke rhide with the -C switch, but you loose the ability to use
CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK to interrupt a program you're working on within rhide.
I suggest you try to get used to the default keypresses instead.

That may not be necessary. Try using the -C switch first to see if it solves
your problem. If you find this unacceptable, you can try adding
__djgpp_set_ctrl_c(0) which will disable a SIGINT signal for CTRL+C, but you
will still be able to use CTRL+BREAK to interrupt a program within rhide.
That may be the behavior you're looking for ;-)

Hope this helps.
