Hi there,
	made a few basic discoveries in a dos window and rhide the other day. 
If you go to c:\windows\startmenu\programs and select dos prompt then
right click then properties you can fix up the dos window.  Hack into
the tabs on the top of the properties window.  Number of lines of text
and etc.  I have a super 21" job (at work) so I can get lots of text
there and still have the windows 95 stuff across the top of the dos
window.  Then when you are in rhide  select options environment
preferences and you can fill up the screen by selecting the number of
lines to display.  I put a dot in 80x50 box.

	Not rocket science but lets you configure what you see on your size
monitor.  Size of dos window and then fill with rhide and fiddle the
size of characters you can best read.

	At one point I had to "cont alt del" after quitting rhide.  I had my
dos window set to be full screen (ie no win stuff visable) with dos and
Roberts defaults for dos and rhide.  (No problem at home on my cost 
effective 14" Job)  I guess you have to make sure dos and rhide make a
sensible configuration.  Maybe my command line was below the bottom of
the screen.  Avoid hitting the little wee square at the top of the dos
window as this puts you into a full size dos screen and you are stuck
there until you go into c:\window\startetc to reconfig the dos window.


		Have fun, I do Ian.
