RHIDE doesn't look for syntax help in all of your info files. By
default, it searches only the libc reference, that is, putting the
cursor on the word "printf" and pressing Ctrl+F1 should work. If you
want to have also other info files searched for syntax help, you have to
tell RHIDE which files it should search. In Help->Syntax help->Files to
search you can insert a list of space separated info files. But there
are different info files: some of them (e.g. libc.inf) have one topic
for each keyword, but no index. Other info files (e.g. iostream.inf)
have an index, but not a topic for each keyword. To make this work in
both cases nevertheless, you have to insert "(iostream)Index" instead of
just plain "iostream". So if you want both the libc and the iostream
files searched for syntax help, insert

	libc (iostream)Index

in the Help->Syntax help->Files to search box. If the index topic
contains spaces, surround it with doublequotes, e.g.

(mylib)"General Index"

P.S.: I guess you set the DJGPP environment variable in your
autoexec.bat, did you? If not, please have a look at the file
readme.1st.
