I have a solution. It's to use subst to create a virtual drive

If for example I have a directory called
     c:\documents and settings\paul\my documents\programming

I can place the following line in c:\autoexec.bat
     subst p: "c:\documents and settings\paul\my documents\programming"

Then, I can use Windows explorer to navigate to
     c:\djgpp\bin
where I right-click on rhide.exe, properties, program tab
and set the working directory to
     p:

Now with I Win+R
     rhide projectname
it all happens where it should, and program executions all succeed, 
because the virtual drive removes all of the path name spacings.

Do not use spaces in your filenames, but otherwise, all is good.
