I know of the existing break on condition; that solves part of the problem. A more basic feature, allowing the ``break when a variable changes'' to be implemented via a defined function would be a way to specify multiple locations for a single break w/condition. Perhaps a range of line-numbers or something. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
