Seeing that there has been discussion about problems with the TP 6.0 IDE
made me think it would be worthwhile to post the following excerpt from
\tp\doc\online.zip (fixes.doc):

>   P-197  Stepping into conditional breakpoints
>   --------------------------------------------
>     An anomaly exists when the execution bar is above a conditional
>     breakpoint you've set and the condition is false. If you press F8
>     in this situation, the debugger will execute the statement with
>     the false conditional breakpoint without stopping. To have the
>     debugger stop before executing that statement, it is not necessary

I believe that 'anomaly' is to 'b-g' as 'user fee' is to 't-x'.
