 Yes, this would be an excellent idea, especially if it wouldn't
 alter the inf files so that info couldn't use em' any more.

I suppose reading the FAQ and other various docs that conme in HTML
format might be easier, but it isn't hard to transdlate HTML into
regular ASCII, IMHO in the first place. Nor to get DOSlynx and use
that.

 He's talking about the menu bar. it took me a while to figure it out.
 When you highlight a selection, yours highlights from the first letter
 to one space after the word, where as Borlands highlights from one space 
 before the word to one space after it.

 IE           RHIDE                    Borland
              File*                    *File*

 It is really rather pointless, IMHO.

 Here is a possible idea, to help users integrate other langauges into
 your IDE though. Some form of scripting langauge for a description file
 should be allowed which would allow the user to specify file extensions,
 compiler/interpreter, and syntax form for highlighting. Users could then
 have an ide for various products both from and not from DJGPP. The less
 technically inclined woudl have to use others files, but still, that 
 would be a nice idea, although, no simple task, I'm sure.

 IE, DJGPP could become an IDE for say NASM, the GNU M-2 package, GNAT,
 maybe a fortran product or two, some of the various Basic's around, etc.

 Just a thought.

 Simpleistic Ex.

 Lang: Modula-2
 EXE: Mod2.exe
 Operators: +, -, *, /, AND, etc....
 standard functions: yadda, yadda
 sub keyword: PROC, FUNCTION
 compiler options: etc....
 etc...
