Nothing's wrong with RHIDE. It certainly highlights the class keyword
correctly, and I'm pretty sure I've seen the word struct in white. Perhaps
you havn't got the latest version of RHIDE? It's up to 1.4.5 (beta) now.

Actually the reason is probably that you havn't saved the file. RHIDE
doesn't highlight text until it knows what kind of file it's supposed to be
highlighting. If you create a new file and type
struct Person{char name[25]; int age;}Percy, Frank;
you'll notice that there's no highlighting - it's all yellow. Saving the
file as struct.h or something will cause RHIDE to realise it's not editing a
Pascal or any other type of file. It knows it's a file for C and will
highlight everything accordingly.
