I've used IDL 5.4 on Windows NT for a long time. I've
never noticed any problems setting breakpoints, although
there *is* a certain sequence you have to go through to
do it. (I don't even know what it is, I just know
it involves hitting the "compile" button frequently.)
I guess my fingers have gotten so adept at it I just
do the right thing all the time, now. :-)

The variable watcher gave me a headache from
the first day I used it. I turned it off and
haven't seen it since. :-)

What in the world are you using a main
routine for!? I thought all there were
were procedures and functions. :-)

Cheers,
