What file extension do the help files use (when using RHIDE)?
Sometimes (for reasons I won't go into here) I feel better starting my
computer up in pure DOS mode and running DJGPP.  At first, I had
problems with the libstdcxx.a and libsupcxx.a because they're longer
than 8 characters long, and can't be found in pure DOS mode.  But by
simply copying the files, taking off one x so that I had the files
libstdcx.a and libsupcx.a, everything works fine.
I just ran into another problem.  I can't get any information if I
right click a command or use the help menu.  I'm thinking that If I
make copies of the help files and modify the names, I might have the
same success as I did with the other files.
Thanks.
