Well, actually I found out that this was not really what I needed. What I
needed was some kind of "multiple targets" or "cross-dependencies" or
whatever you might call it. ex. to make sure that a .Y file is compiled
before the .C file is, or as in my case the .H file is generated before any
of the other files are compiled!

Yeah, I use a Makefile for this purpose right now. But it pretty much sucks
to have to exit RHIDE to DOS everytime you want to compile. I prefer just
pressing F9, since I always use RHIDE to write my projects.
