debugger problem

The disappearance of certain debugging features occurred during what I would
term a vanilla-flavored stack.

I was working on an "openstack" script and all the the debug buttons and
menu items just disappeared. And by the way, the variable watcher turned to
custard as well.

Using several different search terms, I looked all through the lists and I
came to one woeful conclusion. The people at Revolution haven't  done a very
good job of making their debugger bullet-proof. There seem to be a large
number of problems listed that involve the debugger.

I "think" that I solved the problem by washing any trace of Revolution from
my PC, even to the point of scrubbing all register entries as well.

I then reinstalled Revolution, and the plugins I use in my development
environment and eureka, it worked!

Now comes the ranting, moaning and complaining.

Using this development environment makes me feel as if I were walking on
eggs. 

Always lurking in the back of my mind is a simple question. What will go
wrong next?

Having been a member of the computing profession since 1957 and having come
in contact with all kinds of software dealers and pushers I think that I can
speak with some authority when I say I wouldn't want get the Enterprise
environment and  try a corporate project, unless I wanted to fall way behind
schedule and over budget. And end up with a big red L on my forehead.

Now for the Kudos.

The people that use this environment and are members of this list are the 
user-friendly" portion of this environment.

I am reminded greatly of all the Hypercarders I have ever come into contact
with.
