Thanks to Robert for RHIDE. I find it *useful*, as I was used to the
old Borland DOS IDE.

However, I have a P90, 16Mb RAM, and RHIDE is slow on my system.
In particular:

[1] It is slower than the keyboard: when I keep a key pressed for
a while and then release it, its effect continues, as if RHIDE
is not fast enough to catch the keystrokes in time, and ends up
reading them from the buffer. This happens regularly.

[2] Another slowdown seems related to syntax hilighting: the vertical
scrolling generally slows down (and it *often* comes to a standstill)
when several lines of comments are displayed on the page.

I hope these observations can help Robert in his wonderful work:
THANK YOU AGAIN, BOY!

All the best,

  Massimiliano
