Even when Robert must ask it my preliminary answer is:

No, it could be implemented but is a mess. First: RHIDE must detect when 
Winblows enclose the IDE in a Window, for that you must put a hook in the 
Multiplex interrupt, but in real mode (a mess). Second: The effect that you 
describe is because RHIDE emulates the mouse in the extended modes because most 
of the mouse drivers fails under such a situations.

But there are a possible middle point: Perhaps Robert can add a MANUAL switch 
to say: "Do not emulate the mouse in the extended modes". I don't know if that 
could be really usefull (the cursor will disappear when the IDE goes to full 
screen).
