So you are saying that C:\DJGPP\BIN appears in your PATH when you type
"set" from the DOS box's prompt, but nevertheless typing "rhide"
doesn't invoke it?

I find that hard to believe.  Please type "set > environ.txt", then
post here the contents of the file `environ.txt' created by this
command.  Also, please type "dir c:\djgpp\bin\rhide*" and post here
what did that print.
