Hey, RHIDE is not designed to be an imitation of any comercial
program. It is designed to be compatible in most parts with the
IDE from BC 3.1 which I found (before RHIDE of course) the best
DOS IDE and I think you can honour a little bit RHIDE by leaning
it's usage.

BTW: I find it absolutely annoing in some programs, that the
menu is selected by a simply keypress of Alt (probably these
program are written for users who can use the keyboard only
with one finger)
