As you said, you are using dual monitor configuration, why you
need to flip the pages? This config is the best situation for
debugging any graphics program (I have it also and so I can say it).
When you have not disabled the "dual monitor debugging" option,
then RHIDE automatically switches to the secondary monitor
for it's output and your debugged program runs on the primary
monitor.

I don't know exact now, but I remember that using 'int86' is not
a good idea, because there is a problem with the not initialized
ss and esp registers. Use '__dpmi_int' instead. Maybe this
was your problem or it is also releated to your other problem
with the hard drive demage (your other post).
