Hi.  I'm new to the NG and C++ programming.  Hope anyone could answer a
couple of stupid questions.

I just installed DJGPP files in C:\DJGPP folder and add "set PATH=..."
lines in my AUTOEXEC.BAT as directed in installation instruction.  I
used "Zip File Picker", so I got all the necessary files and specific
instruction for Win98.  Then some questions have arisen.

First, I tryied to read readme.1st, but couldn't figure out what
application to choose to open the file.  What kind of files are *.1st
and *.faq??

Next, I decided to try "hello, world" program anyway.  I couldn't find
any instruction on RHIDE but could start it from MS-DOS prompt.  And,
this is weird, but when I key \(backslash), I can't enter \.  Instead
curser jumps forward, just like when you "TAB + Shift" in wordprocessor.
  Because I can enter \ in MS-DOS prompt and qbasic, I doubt something's
wrong with my keyboard.  Does this happen to sound familiar?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Regards,
knoriko
