Houston,

>Fabio merely wants the debugger windows and alert windows not to have a bearing on the application being debugged -

And Nancy suggested debugout as a better choice of debugging tool, and that was met with his standard reply "You don't know what you are talking about, VFP is full of bugs! (my paraphrase)" rant.

>for example what is the point of putting WONTOP() in the watch window if (when the watch window has focus) all it returns is "Watch Window". We want to debug our applications not the debugger.

This is in part the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and part the dynamic nature of VFP.

If you want wontop() to not be affected switch to using the Debug Frame for the debugger instead of the VFP Frame.

>RE: "It sounds more and more..." I must resist, resist, resist.

If by this you mean that I entered the thread on the principle of opposing Fabio's posts then you are mistaken. But I won't idly sit here and let anyone slam the tool when the fault lies in the tool-user.
