By this I mean that if I run into a problem at level 4 and realize that level 2 is causing the problem, is there anyway that I can go directly to level 2 without having level 3 exhaustively fail first? I have some ideas of how to solve the problem, but am interested in other peoples opinions. -Eric Iverson
