I put it to the screen (the code is taken from my debug_on.prg, which has just a couple of lines more than you see):
set status bar off
set debu on
set talk on
set talk nowi
acti scree

If Talk is set to a window, it doesn't show all the value changes etc, it shows only the counters, i.e. the things that have the For/while clause and involve _tally. Also, if you're debugging a form, directing Talk to its window will cause it to scroll and mess up the display, so it won't be rather useful, unless you want to see which objects get refreshed/repainted, because they'll pop up in the middle of your Talk output, and subsequently cause your output to resume from the object's position, overwriting (partially...) the previous output. Pretty messy, therefore I prefer activating the screen, so the output scrolls behind the forms. Scrolling behind is the worst thing you can do to slow down the display, but in a debugging session we don't need speed, do we?
