Did RHIDE work on this machine before, or was your previous work with 
RHIDE on another machine?

If RHIDE worked okay before on the same machine, can you tell what 
changed since the last time it worked?  If you need a specific sequence 
of actions to cause RHIDE to freeze, please describe it.

There is a known problem with some versions of Windows that wedges the 
DOS box, but it only happens when you run another program from within 
RHIDE.  Is that the case here?

What happens if the DJGPP variable is set, but the djgpp.env file is 
renamed, so that the variable points to a non-existing file?

If this stops RHIDE from hanging, then it's possible that something 
inside djgpp.env triggers some bug.  You might try removing the lines in 
djgpp.env one by one until you find the one that causes the problem; then 
post that line here, if you can't figure out why it does so.

Now I'm confused.  What does the compiler have to do with this?  Does 
RHIDE hang when compiling or at startup?
