That's my problem too!I'm used to TC++ which is totally different from djgpp.But for someone who really is a newcomer,and is not used with somethin else,maybe it's not that confusing. > First of all, PMode is confusing.

That's right,RHIDE is different than TC++ IDE,and it's hard to get along with it(until now,anyway,but it may change). > And then maybe the most confusing thing is Help.
