Re: On Debugger Controls

Andreas,

I would suggest 2 more.
1. Set Next Statement
This would allow you to move the cursor down past a block of code, and
say "this is where I am now".  Effectively setting the line as the next
line to be executed.
 
2. Throttle
This would allow you to set a delay between execution of statements.  So
you could really throttle down and more easily watch variables change
values while the code is continuing.  (This is a great feature on Visual
FoxPro... not sure who else has it.)
