Options|Environment|Preferences|show process information
But that's usually checked (at least in 1.4.7.x versions).

And there are other problems. I was able to use RHIDE with MingW32 but looks like
there are redirection problems. If the program compiles ok all is fine, but if
some error occurs is like if it wasn't captured by RHIDE. Like if the child
process had an independent stderr, I don't know was really strange.
Currently Turbo Vision (the library used for the UI interface of RHIDE) can be
compiled for Win32 using BC++ 5.5 and MingWin32, a user also sent me patches for
CigWin this week. It means that a Native Win32 RHIDE is possible, in fact the user
that sent me patches to compile the MingWin32 code with CigWin have this goal. If
you are interested in following the events around it and/or help porting/testing
please subscribe to RHIDE mailing list (http://www.rhide.com).
