Hi,
	People say how great RHIDE is.

	Unfortunately, I can't make it work !

	I got it *after* the revision to beta-3 was released.

	I can't format the info page, if I do a:

(i)	makeinfo rhide

	I get about 400 complaints about the positions of '{' and '}'
	characters.

(ii)	If I run it, it asks for a file name.
	If I give it the name of a non-existant file, it runs but crashes
	as soon as I try any command

	(this might mean that I have to make the file myself, but without
	 the documentation I don't know)

(iii)	The text on the www site suggested (at least to me) that If I D/L'd
	the turbovision port I would be able to compile rhide (but not
	the turbovision library).  In fact you can't compile either unless
	you have the original library.  I don't really mind this but I got
	the wrong idea.  Perhaps I misread it.

	Anyway, I just wondered what I'd done wrong, since it seems to
	work for other people ?
