V5.0 is a major improvement in that area. If you use /no_block in your call to
xmanager, then you still have the command line even when your widget program is
running. This makes proceeding from programming errors is much easier.
You can often just .skip or otherwise fix the error temporarily, and then
edit and recompile the offending routine WHILE THE WIDGET APPLICATION IS
STILL RUNNING. This is a major improvement. As long as the problem is not
with the widgets themselves but in a processing routine this works fine. Just
.RUN the broken routine, and the next time you call it from your widget
interface it works (if you fixed it right!)
