Wallace,

1.  Exit (close) djgpp and/or RHIDE.

2.  Go to your djgpp directory, wherever that is.

3.  Open the file "djgpp.env" in your text editor.

4.  Find the line "+LFN=n" and change it to read "+LFN=y"

5.  Save the change, and restart djgpp and/or RHIDE.

This solution worked for me and is documented in the mail
archives (which contain a LOT of other great help tidbits) at
www.delorie.com.

Best Regards,

Scott McPherson
