When RHIDE exits this is a "crash", even when you don't see a traceback
on the screen. Please redirect stderr to file and send me the file:

redir -e err rhide ...

Because I never tried to set in the 'dir' file full paths to the info
files, I cannot say if it will work or not, but the normal way for
doing that, when your info files in different directories, is to
give in the 'dir' file only the filename of the info file and set
up the environment variable INFOPATH to all the directories, where
your info files are.

Normally this should work, because RHIDE saves/restores the keyboard
interrupt of the user program when debugging.
Because I'm not so familar with allegro I cannot give special hints
about this situation. Maybe there are some other users who had a
similar problem when debugging allegro programs under RHIDE who
can post their experiances.

What should Ctrl-Alt-End do?? (Or do you mean Ctrl-Alt-Del ?)
