-> It works great (although I would have liked it to default to a
-> BACKRAM SuperDebugger rather than using the REU so that the rboot
-> ability isn't destroyed--I keep forgetting to hold the space bar).

There is a patch on Qlink that will make geoDebugger2.0 DEFAULT to the
BackRAM SuperDebugger.  It was uploaded recently.

-> Anyway, my question is this:  I wanted to test the debugger with a
-> small, incomplete program that I wrote, however, when I opened the
-> file, the debugger did not load in the .sym file that was produced by
-> the linker. I haven't relinked it lately, but that shouldn't be a
-> problem, the linker is the same. How can I get the debugger to load
-> that symbol file?

When you 'load' your file in geoDebugger, it looks for the .DBG file,
not the .SYM.  If the name of your program is 'Lyle', then geoDebugger
will look for a file called 'Lyle.dbg'.  This .DBG file is created when
you link your files together.

Another way to load up the file with the symbols is to double click the
.DBG file.
