Actually I DID read the readme.1st (I actually keep a hard copy of it near
my computer so I can navigate in 'info ' more easily). It turns out that
this is more of a question about RHIDE than about DJGPP per se. I discovered
today that all I had to do was to go to an MSDOS prompt, change directory to
the directory where my source files are, and call RHIDE within that
directory. Then I can use RHIDE to compile right from that directory. I
still haven't figured out how to get RHIDE to look in multiple other
directories for header files, but I think I may have been using the wrong
syntax to list multiple include paths in RHIDE's
(options>directories>include).
So basically, your comment was not at all helpful! But I still thank you for
responding and at least trying to aid someone lost. I read many of the posts
here and I have noticed that many times when a beginner asks a question that
is answered somewhere in the documentation, it is not at all obvious to that
beginner exactly where the answer can be found. Sometimes (as I think is the
case with me here), a novice may not even ask precisely the right question.
But all responses are still appreciated as sometimes they can lead to the
right place to start.
