I just tried a few experiments within the ide and I couldn't make it run
basic programs either (thru qbasic /run, of course). I tried renaming FGDB,
GDB and even GREP, to no avail :(

Here's one interesting feature for the ide: let us define our own external

You want to take a good look at the file \djgpp\share\rhide\syntaxhl.shl
where you will find all the nitty details. In fact, I was just playing with
it yesterday, and I've got a few additions to propose to Salvador (it is my
understanding that this is his field, the actual editor.)
