I didn't know that the debugger is an ongoing "issue". I didn't mean 
to complain. I thought I was doing something wrong. Of course, that's 
still a possibility.

Does the debugger work much better in version 2.6?

I've heard that alternate debuggers are available. If something works 
well, out of the box, I should probably try it. If they're all 
pre-beta versions, I guess I'd be better off waiting for Rev to fix 
their own debugger. What do you suggest?

Not to be negativistic, but it's starting to seem like Rev is a 
not-quite-ready-for-prime-time product. If it's true, I can live with 
that. I can even remain a Rev loyalist. God knows I was a hyperCard 
loyalist until the bitter end. (For that matter, I remained an Atari 
loyalist, until the bitter end!)

It just sort of comes as a surprise. At some point, everybody on the 
hyperCard list seemed to agree that it was time to switch to Rev. I 
just went along with the crowd.

In any case, thanks a bunch,
