--Keys
Special debugger keys fall into the following
categories:

    Function Keys
        Keys that execute debugger functions

    Window keys
        Keys that operate on the active window

    Others
        Keys for window navigation and sizing


Other keys (typeable characters) are sent to

--Windows
The Debugger display consists of the following five
windows:

    Command Window
        Accepts and displays debugger commands.
        Always open.

    Code Window
        Displays program source code.
        Always open.

    Watch Window
        Displays Watchpoints and Tracepoints, and inspects
        their values.
        Open when any Watchpoints or Tracepoints are
        defined. These are set and deleted via the
        Point menu.

    Monitor Window
        Displays monitored variables, and inspects their
        values.
        Open when any classes of variables are being
        monitored, via commands in the Monitor menu.

    CallStack Window
        Displays program call stack.
        Opened via the View:CallStack menu option.

        If this window is active, the Code, Watch and
        Monitor windows will display information pertaining
        to the selected call on the CallStack.


One debugger window is active at a time. The active window
is displayed with a hilighted border. TAB and SHIFT-TAB
navigate among open windows.

The Window menu contains options to Move, Size, Zoom and
Iconize the active window.

After a long session of moving and sizing, the Window:Tile
menu option will restore the windows to their original
size and location.
--   Command
The Command window accepts debugger commands as line
input, and displays the response from an executed
command, if any.

Commands are entered simply by typing in the command
text, then pressing ENTER.

Commands may be entered and executed while any
window is active. However, the entry cursor is
only visible within the Command window when it is
active.

When the Command window is active, the UP and DOWN
arrow keys can be used to recall previous commands.
--   Code
The Code window displays Clipper source code for
the program being debugged.


What file the Code window displays may be controlled
in the following ways:

    1.  By default, the Code window will contain the line
        of Clipper code currently being executed.

    2.  If the CallStack window is open, the code being
        viewed is that of the selected call in the CallStack
        window.

        NOTE: By default this will be the same code as 1,
        but code for the other calls may be viewed by
        making the CallStack window active and using UP
        and DOWN to traverse the call stack.

    3.  A specific file may be viewed by issuing a VIEW
        command, or selecting the File:View menu option.


If the Code window contains the line of Clipper code
currently being executed, that line will be hilighted.
Any lines which have Breakpoints set on them will also
be marked.


In addition to standard navigation keys, you can search
the viewed file for a specific string, or go to a particular
line within it, using options found in the Locate menu.
--   Watch
The Watch window displays Watchpoint and Tracepoint
expressions, and their current values.

Watchpoints and Tracepoints may be defined and deleted via
options on the Point menu. You can edit a Watchpoint or
Tracepoint expression by selecting it in the Watch window
and pressing CTRL-ENTER.

If the Watch window is active, pressing ENTER will inspect
the value of the selected expression. The navigation keys
described in 'Window Keys' may be used to change the
selected item.

If the CallStack window is active, the Watch window will
display the values for Watchpoints and Tracepoints at the
activation level represented by the selected call in the
CallStack window.
--   Monitor
The Monitor window displays monitored variables.

Classes of variables may be monitored via options in the
Monitor menu.

If the Monitor window is active, pressing ENTER will
inspect the value of the selected variable. The navigation
keys described in 'Window Keys' may be used to change the
selected item.

If the CallStack window is active, the Monitor window will
display the values of variables at the point of the
activation level represented by the selected call in the
CallStack window.
--   CallStack
The CallStack window displays the program's call stack.
It is opened and closed via the View:CallStack menu
option.

By default, the selected call within the CallStack window
is the top one -- i.e., the call currently being executed.
When the CallStack window is active, the other call levels
may be selected using the navigation keys described in
'Window Keys'.

All other windows except the Command window are synchronized
with the CallStack window. The code viewed in the Code
window, the values of Watchpoints and Tracepoints in the
Watch window, and the values of variables in the Monitor
window are all in the context of the activation level
selected in the CallStack window.
--Menus
The debugger menus contain various debugger functions.

Each menu may be accessed at any time by pressing the
ALT key, and the first letter in the menu's name.

Once in a menu, the UP and DOWN arrow keys navigate
the list of options. An option may be selected by
pressing ENTER, or by typing the first uppercase
letter within the name of the desired option.


Some menu options toggle a debugger setting. These
options will have a checkmark displayed to their left
if the setting they refer to is currently ON.


Each menu option is also available as a command,
made up of the Menu name, followed by the first
word of the option name. For instance, the
View:CallStack menu option may also be accessed via
the command:

    View Call

Words within these commands may be shortened in most
cases to one letter.

For more information on this class of commands, see
the 'Commands' section of this help.

--   Point
Options:

    Watchpoint...

    Add Watchpoint. A Watchpoint is an expression which
    the debugger tracks during program execution -- the
    current value of a Watchpoint is displayed in the
    Watch window during debugging.

    A Watchpoint may be any valid Clipper expression,
    i.e.:

        s                   // variable
        a[ n ]              // array element
        g:buffer            // object instance variable
        At( s, t )          // return value of function call
        ValType( s ) == 'C' // value of expression


    Tracepoint...

    Add Tracepoint. A Tracepoint is similar to a Watchpoint,
    with the additional property that if the value of a
    Tracepoint expression changes, the debugger will be
    invoked as if a Breakpoint had been hit.


    Breakpoint   F9

    Set Breakpoint on current cursor line in
    Code window

    The debugger will use this path to search for
    files, if not found in the current directory.
    NOTE: If not found in the debugger path, the
    directories specified in the environment's PATH
    will be searched.

    Toggles whether active window is Iconized. When
    Iconized, window will be one row high and a few
    columns wide.

--Commands
There are two sets of debugger commands:

1. Menu option commands. These commands are formed
from the menu name, followed by the (first word of)
the option name. For instance, the Monitor:Public
menu option may be invoked via the command:

    Monitor Public

These commands may be abbreviated down to one letter
per word. However in some cases a second letter will
be required in the second word, as in the case of
Monitor Private:

    M P     // invokes Monitor Public
    M Pr    // invokes Monitor Private



2. Other commands. Listed below.

--Script files
Script files contain debugger commands, in the same
form they would take as input in the Command window.
By default, script files use the extension CLD, as in
'myscript.cld'.


Creating a script file:

A script file containing all the debugger's current
settings may be created via the Options:Save menu
option. A script file may also be written by hand,
in a text editor.


Reading a script file:

A script file may be read into the debugger at any
time using the Options:Restore menu option.

The extension '.cld' will be assumed if no extension
is supplied.

When reading a script file, the debugger will look
for the file in the current directory first. If the
script is not found there, the debugger will search
all directories in the PATH environment variable.


init.cld:

On startup (or, if it is linked into a program, when
it is first invoked), the debugger will look for a
script file called init.cld, in the current directory
and then, if not found, in the directories specified
by the PATH environment variable.

If init.cld is found, the debugger will read it
automatically. It is useful to place general
preferences in init.cld -- specifying colors,
turning on the CallStack window, and so on.
