1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{f^5 g^2 h}{f^0 g^4 h^{-1}}$$.
2. **Recall the rules:**
- Any number to the zero power is 1, so $f^0 = 1$.
- When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: $$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$$.
- Negative exponents mean reciprocal: $$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$$.
3. **Apply the rules:**
$$\frac{f^5 g^2 h}{f^0 g^4 h^{-1}} = f^{5-0} g^{2-4} h^{1-(-1)}$$
4. **Simplify exponents:**
$$= f^5 g^{-2} h^{2}$$
5. **Rewrite negative exponent:**
$$= f^5 \frac{h^2}{g^2}$$
6. **Final simplified expression:**
$$\boxed{\frac{f^5 h^2}{g^2}}$$
