>I would like to know how do we use Debug. I have been using similar debugger in Clipper 5.0 (Language). The sequence there was to start the debugger with the .EXE file from dos command prompt. (e.g. CLD main.exe). Now if we want to run it as normal, we use to press F5 and if we decide somewhere in the middle to get back into debug mode we use to press ALT+D and then F8 to step in step by step or Press F9 as a break point.

You can always call-up the debugger by using

SET STEP ON.

As far as keys to control this, you can assign as you need. For example,

ON KEY LABEL CTRL+F8 SET STEP ON
ON KEY LABEL CTRL+D SET STEP ON
(or other depending on the key stroke combination you want to activate).

Then with the debugger up, you can set breakpoints, or step-by-step as you need.
