My problema are the following:
============================
1:  when exiting RHIDE (Alt-X) my terminal settings are FUBAR.
    e.g. It is no echos's back character,
         arrow key operate differently
         switching Virtual Consoles by Alt-Function keys is changed
         in Ctrl-Alt-Function keys.
         etc.

    Even running "reset" does not correct all terminal problems.
    Does RHIDE save the current tty setting at startup and
    restore those at exit.
    When RHIDE is running there seem to be no big problems.
    The screen looks OK and most keys work fine.
    I think that the orignal settings should be restored before RHIDE
    exits.
    By the way the linux terminal settings work better than xterm-rhide.
    "tic rhide.terminfo" results in a lot warnings and errors when run
    on my box.


2: Dual Terminal feature fails in RHIDE.
   In DOS mode I can switch monitor by :
   mode mono
   mode co80
   But RHIDE never switches over to the other terminal.
   I also installed a kernel patch fur multi monitor support
   but this didn't bring any good new.
   Which Linux kernel has proven to support this option ?.
   How can this feature be tested ?

3: From the doc I understood that RHIDE looks for the file 'rhide.env'
   in directory /usr/local/share/rhide
   This file can contain environment settings like :
   INFOPATH=/usr/local/info
   This does not seem to happen.
   I checked this out like this : strace rhide | grep ".env"
   The only way I put something in INFOPATH is by using export
   before starting RHIDE.
   Please explain

4 I also tried to check out the dual monitor feature in RHGDB
  But unfortunately RHGDB coredumps in any occassion,
  irrespective of the selected -D option.
  I use the same project as in RHIDE which seems to DEBUG fine.

5 Besides these problems I think you did a great job creating RHIDE.
  My compliments, I hope to use it a lot.
  But it would be great if it didn't mess up my terminal settings.
