Gil,

Trace runs the fxp and concurrently moves the line no on the source prg. Once everything is compiled into an app or exe, the comments and line numbers are ignored and a lot of the code is compiled into stuff you wouldn't be able to read. The only way to allow the tracer to trace an app or exe, would be to put a lot of reference codes in the app or exe, therefore making them bigger, which is generally contrary to the point of making an app or exe to begin with.
