Hi,

I would like to use the graphical interface of the CMUCL debugger but
there is hardly any documentation on how to use it. Especillay I 
couldn't figure out how to set breakpoints and step through functions.
I would be very appreciative for any help or hint where to find more
documentation.

Regards

Rolf Wester

the graphical debugger looks a little limited: it's more an inspector
for stack frames. It probably wouldn't be hugely difficult to improve
it, to implement features like stepping, if you were so inclined.

Thanks for your reply. I probably will stay with the tty debugger. I just
wondered why I couldn't find stepping / breakpoints etc. in the graphical
debugger although the CMUCL manual states that the both interfaces
are equivalent.
