Dear Eli,
     First of all thank's a lot for helping me in my problem. I 
downloaded v 1.4.7 and have found that the problem area you 
identified  has been corrected in RHIDE 1.4.7.

You are indeed absolutely correct Eli, because in the makefile 
generated by v1.4.7(please see below)  the problem appears to 
have been corrected.
Makefile generated by RHIDE 1.4.7. (relevant bits)

all::
DEPS_0= test.o            <<<<<<<<<
NO_LINK=
LINK_FILES=$(filter-out $(NO_LINK),$(DEPS_0))
test.exe:: $(DEPS_0)
        $(RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK)
DEPS_1=test.cpp j:/djgpp/include/stdio.h 
j:/djgpp/include/sys/djtypes.h\
        j:/djgpp/include/sys/version.h test.h
test.o:: $(DEPS_1)
        $(RHIDE_COMPILE.cpp.o)
all:: test.exe

As you can see v1.4.7 correctly specifies 'test.o' instead of v1.4 
wich wrongly specifies 'd:/paint/test.o' . So now MAKE does check 
for test.h and if it has been changed rebuilds test.o as it should.

This in my opinion is certainly a bug in RHIDE 1.4 wich has been 
remedied in v.14.7. 
Why does the zip-picker keep recommending v1.4 (rhide14b.zip if I 
can remember correctly)  when v1.4.7 (although a beta) is much 
better( I got v1.4.7 from Robert's site). The reason I ended up with 
v1.4 was because  the zip-picker suggested it.

Once again many thank's to everyone who helped me in my 
problem, I really appreciate everyones help.
