To ALL of the list -  Thank you ever so much for all of your wonderful help.

Brian -

I am a newbie, and can make stupid mistakes.

1]  My apologies for the above.  I had removed some proprietary code 
from the program, and that caused it to hang when you tried to 
compile.  That issue I fixed ... two misplaced braces.

2] Problem with display solved by using another computer w/o a video 
card designed to run two monitors.

3] However... previously when I compiled with RHIDE, the screen would 
show the compile commands; eg, gcc bla.c -g bla.o [I am probably not 
accurate with what I just wrote, but you have the idea.]  Now all it 
says it "compiling".

3] If I set a breakpoint, and wish to run till breakpoint [F4], RHIDE 
crashes with a diagonal display on the screen showing some of the C 
code, and some messages "code not created for ....".  I think it is 
being compiled w/o debugging code and is being optimized.  Is there 
any compiler flag that will force the system not to optimize?

4]  If I step thru the program,  [F7 or Shift F7], the user screen is 
never displayed.  When the program needs input, there is no way to do it.

FYI -  I was using ver 5 of RHIDE [rhid15ab.zip] and was experiencing 
the above problems.  I switched to an earlier version, [rh1501b.zip] 
and the problem persists.

Again, much thanks.

Ethan
