Did RHIDE work on this machine before, or was your previous work with
RHIDE on another machine?
If RHIDE worked okay before on the same machine, can you tell what
changed since the last time it worked? If you need a specific sequence
of actions to cause RHIDE to freeze, please describe it.
There is a known problem with some versions of Windows that wedges the
DOS box, but it only happens when you run another program from within
RHIDE. Is that the case here?

What happens if the DJGPP variable is set, but the djgpp.env file is
renamed, so that the variable points to a non-existing file?
If this stops RHIDE from hanging, then it's possible that something
inside djgpp.env triggers some bug. You might try removing the lines in
djgpp.env one by one until you find the one that causes the problem; then
post that line here, if you can't figure out why it does so.

Now I'm confused. What does the compiler have to do with this? Does
RHIDE hang when compiling or at startup?
