Hi Dan and all,

I do apologise: the words I used were not a bit strong but totally  
excessive.
In fact, it's my bad knowledge of English which played a dirty trick  
on me.
I wanted to tell that a fully reliable debugger with good ergonomics  
(it's not yet the case at the moment) is a major piece in any IDE.
Especially for beginners, it's an irreplaceable learning tool, a kind  
of big brother which look over your shoulder and tells you how to  
progress :-)
So I think that Runrev guys should pay more attention to the debugger  
as, beyond debugging, it shows:
1. What's happens is not a bug ;-)
2. It's your code which is badly dressed
3. You begin to see how to change it for a good one
