Here's some interesting behaviour I've found extremely useful in develpoment
with Windows. I normally do all my coding in Windows with an Explorer window
open. If you open an explorer window and change to any directory, it becomes the
current directory for any other programs you care to load. For example:

open an explorer box
go to your djgpp directory (c:\djgpp for instance)
go to start, then run and run 'bash'

The bash shell starts with c:\djgpp as the current directory. The same is true
if you replace bash with rhide.

Another solution is to associate rhide with your .c files. Windows is smart
enough to make the directory you load the c file from the current directory, so
any executables you create from rhide will be in the same directory.
