Good point Eli, but now I added code to RHIDE to debug graphic 
programs (YES I succesfully debugged a program that uses 
Graphics+VGA Tricks+DMA+Interrupts without crashes), the thing still 
very green but will be incorpored to the IDE. Of couse we can live 
without an smart swap but ... swapping 256Kb of video memory isn't 
very fast.
