It appears that dbx for the DS5000 provides no way of calling a function.  Why has the extremely handy "call" command been removed?  This drastically cuts into our development efficiency!

Another problem with this version of dbx is that it does not recognize conditional break points when a program is rerun.  The break points show up with the status command, but they are ignored.  Deleting break command and retyping the same thing over causes it to work.
