I'm a newbie w/ visual lisp.  But I've dabbled in VB & VBA.  In those, you
can step thru your code and watch what it does one line at a time.  Visual
LISP has that option on the pull down menus, but I can't seem to get it to
work.  What do I need to do.

Thanks in advance

The Lispworks IDE does a good job in highlighting the form being
executed:

It comes handy when you get an error and want to tell which form in the
source has raised it.  You need to use the debugger dialog window.  I
don't think you can use it as a stepper (maybe someone can confirm), but
you can select the source code for any of the frames on the stack.

Another option (not Lisp but Scheme) is

Have to tried the 'Animate' feature?
I don't recommend it.
Instead, set a break point, then you
can use step-in, step-out, step-over, etc.
