OK, I figured out what was causing the problem. It was the HOME environmental variable.
For some reason, when RHIDE loads with the HOME environmental variable set to the root directory
of any drive, it waits 120 seconds before loading, but only if DJDIR is set. I had my DJGPP
installed in a subst'ed drive, and my HOME was set to "P:\", but when i changed it to the real
location "E:\DJGPP\", rhide loads fine.
Thanx for your assistance.
