Why not reading the INFO file. If you forget the URL's and internet
connections, it is similiar to a text based html browser.
I don't know which FAQ's or DOC's you want to read, but as far as I
know,
all the DJGPP related docs come in INFO format.

I agree.

Except for the syntax highlight this can be done already. How it can
be done needs at first to read the doc (section 4.5 - 4.7) and a little
knowledge about the inetrnal work of RHIDE.
Because the primary goal, when developing RHIDE, was to give the user
a simple to use IDE with as less as possible configuration work, I think
this is a good compromize.
If therer is some programming guru, who realy wants to get some special
effects, he should invent a little bit of work in understanding RHIDE
and then it is possible (in most things).

Currently I have included in RHIDE the most popular compilers, which
are available for DJGPP. If there will come some others, they can be
used
with the above described technique and if there are many requests, they
can be also builtin in RHIDE.
