I've been using RHIDE for around a year now, initially the BETA5 version, 
but (since Christmas) version 1.0 with the patches posted by Robert 
Hoehne.  1.0 was obviously a huge improvement on the (already-good) BETA5 
and I was looking forward to yet more improvements with version 1.2.  
However, although it is obviously a further improvement, I can't get it 
to work properly!  Has anyone else had the problem that when going to the 
user screen (Alt-F5) and back to the IDE environment, the screen gets 
filled with stripes and general garbage and is completely unusable?  Or 
(as I fear) am I just doing something rather naive?  It seems to be some 
kind of screen driver problem but this is where my knowledge of how PCs 
work gets rather thin!

It's a pity that I can't yet use 1.2 as I am (by background) a Fortran 
man and I was looking forward to being able to do Fortran on my PC via 
the (very welcome) port of G77 to DJGPP and its incorporation into RHIDE.

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious.

Thanks
