Ahh, I try to avoid beta software as a rule, and alpha tends to be 
treated to the 10-foot pole treatment. I'll make an exception to that in 
this case.

Right, c:\djgpp deleted, downloaded djdev204, gcc340b, gpp340b, mak380b, 
txi420b, (and the older bnu213b, faq230b & pakk022b) and extracted to 
c:\djgpp, paths as per normal.

RHIDE 1.5.01 extracted too.

gcc -dumpversion
3.40

And still, when I Win+R cmd (takes me to c:\documents and settings\paul) 
and do rhide hello and ctrl+F9 I get program exit code 0 (all good) and 
get the "content of stderr from hello.exe" showing Bad command or file name.

hello.exe of course runs perfectly fine when run seperately.

So let's go back to where I started. Is there a way to get RHIDE to 
successfully show the run results when the directory location contains 
spaces?
