Dear Mark,

if you have a real good development tool you will have some more or
different tools as only stop and .skip.

In idlde for example I and I am sure David too we are using
some icon-functions:

Step into
Step over
Step out
Break
Stop
Toggle out
Edit Breakpoints

or some Run commands:
Trace
Run to cursor
Run to return

Profile helps a lot too.

The usage of breakpoints instead of stop is much better.

cheers

Reimar
