I almost never need to insert a breakpoint command, so your mileage may 
vary. The red dots don't always work, but for me they do most of the time.

The preOpen-everythings on the first card are the main occasion where I 
do need to insert a scripted breakpoint. Those work if the stack is 
opened from within the IDE. Double-clicking the stack to launch the IDE 
doesn't always break; I always thought the debugger wasn't available yet 
when that happens.
