That's not a bad idea... probably C-c C-d C-e should be disabled when
stopped in a program. Of course, if you "retall" yourself at the
command line (instead of using IDLWAVE to do that for you), it can get
confused and think you are still stopped.

I tried this and it works well, prompting if you are stopped at a
breakpoint, error, etc. Look for it in the next release, which is
looking more and more like it will be 6.2 (some fixes since the Emacs
22 v6.1).

You will notice I made the shortcut "e" in electric debug mode do
something else beside run-region (eval an expression). If your block
of code would run line by line, you can always drop the whole thing
onto the command line.

I use run-region a reasonable amount, but never when debugging. Be
sure to try all the rich examine functionality, to print or otherwise
inspect variables or expressions at any place in the stack.
