From the readme.txt:

   - If you want to read the Allegro documentation with the Info viewer
     or the Rhide online help system, edit the file djgpp\info\dir, and        
     in the menu section add the lines:

         * Allegro: (allegro.inf).
                 The Allegro game programming library


Although I've since realised that this is only actually required for the
standalone Info program. To use the file with Rhide, you can simply add
"allegro" to the "Help / Syntax help / Files to search" menu (after the
existing libc entry, with a space between them).
