: Does that mean I can delete the 111 directories (this is the actual number of
: these directories.  I must crash a lot -grin-) in /djgpp/tmp that are named
: RHAAAAAA through RHNDAAAA?  And what about the file named DJ100000.0?

I have about that number :) I'm using a slightly old version of RHIDE
which crashes whenever I do too many Evaluate/Modify operations, or when I
mess around with the clipboard in Edit-Show Clipboard. I really ought to
upgrade... it would save so much programming time :)

Robert, is it not possible to autosave files, or at least make temporary
copies on disk which can be recovered after a crash? Sorry if this is in a
later version; I *will* upgrade soon, when my internet connection is
fixed.
