It has been strange but it would not work.  Even RHIDE could not find the
headers and the libs unless entered in the corresponding fields under
OPTIONS.  Even then it would not link.  Anyway, I resolved this issue by
cutting everything that had the paths in the env file, and then I included
them all in SET statements in autoexec.bat.  I had the clue from the
RSXNTDJ1 package which asked the user to add the paths of headers and libs
into SET statements in autoexec.bat.
Having done that, RHIDE ran like a breeze compiling and linking "standard"
files without the need to add the paths in RHIDE's OPTIONS.  Apparently
RHIDE can find its way using these SET statements for different headers and
libs.
I must say I am happy with the results.  I just compiled and linked my
first program using DJGPP and RHIDE :):):):)
