Just to inform: I killed a bug there so now it works a little better ;-)

Now is user configurable.

If you people don't cry you never will get what you want ;-).
In my country we say: "El que no llora no mama" (if you understand spanish
you'll know what's, if not is simply the same I said in the last sentence).
Now I added it!, so you'll see it in RHIDE soon or later.

Yes the projects are a very very good thing.

Yes thanks to GDB inside and the IDE you can kill a bug in some minutes.

Well is very easy to understand but I must admit that I didn't understand
it the first time I used BC++ 3.1.

Because Robert never uses RHIDE in this way ;-)

Done.

Robert have the word here.

Hmmm... I don't know. I'll put it in the (long) wishes list.

What do you mean here? Do you mean for example when you paste using Windows?
I think that's hard to solve. For Loose, may be, but you can't know that
some TSR is typing instead of the user.

SET

P.S. Last minute: I added support for the Loose clipboard. Is limited to the 
size of the transfer buffer but you can copy & paste with it.
