I don't know because all my files have it.

Ok, I'll put it in my todo.

Yes doesn't look like a "Frequently ..." but is hard to figure out, I think a 
newbie won't understand it even after months of work.

Lamentably Robert doesn't have the time to do it and I don't know if somebody 
else can do it right. I ever had troubles to recompile RHIDE at home. In 
*all* the cases my local copy behaves different so I can't just recompile 
RHIDE and upload it.
Currently I'm testing a fixed version of RHIDE compiled with gdb 4.16 instead 
of 4.17 used in RHIDE 1.4.5.
