So that means that the debugger telling me that I was executing line
437 in a certain script is kind of unhelpful, unless I choose to
count the lines when not in debugger mode, or unless the jumping-off
point in the calling script is obvious for example because it's the
only call to a particular handler (which would make the need to
identify line 437 redundant).
I wonder how other people get round this problem...
thanks for the info
