Breakpoints in IDL 6.2 (windows) [message #45158]

Folks,

I'm having a problem with breakpoints and I'm working with RSI,
trying to do a little research on what the problem might be.
This happens in IDL 6.2, Windows version.

I apparently have saved a project in which a file I was
working on had a breakpoint in it. Now, when I open the project
I can no longer set breakpoints in *any* file in the project.
If I open the file in question, I see a "broken yellow circle",
which normally indicates the file needs to be compiled to "set"
the breakpoint. However, if I compile the file, the yellow dot
disappears. When I run the file, there is no break.

If I look at the Edit Breakpoint dialog, I can see the
breakpoint there, and I can even remove it. But I can still
not set breakpoints in any file in the project. If I remove
all the breakpoints with the Edit Breakpoint dialog, and then
save the project, I *still* cannot set breakpoints when I open
the project in a fresh IDL session.

Since I am not a good enough programmer to write programs
without bugs, I am perplexed. :-(

Has anyone else seen this problem? Do you have any clues
as to what is going on? I guess I'm going to try re-installing
IDL eventually. But I wanted to see if I could come up with a
better solution before I resort to that.

Cheers,

David
