Peter, 
     I have not used Nosy too much, except in playing around with it
(I'm still waiting for a real users manual), but in the later versions (2.1+)
you can load Nosy in one switcher partition and your program in another.
Then you tell Nosy to disassemble the file, it will see that you have loaded
it into switcher and you can play with it from there.  The latest version
of Nosy is 2.25 (or even higher now), which has this capability, plus the
ability to use the new debugger.  Get onto the Nosy SIG on Delphi and they
explain more on how to do this.  I hope this info helps.  If not, you can
always leave mail for MacNosy of Delphi and Jasik will answer your questions
fairly promptly.

Note: Standard disclaimer, I have no connection with Steve Jasik, aka MacNosy,
aka The Head Nose, etc...  I am just an impressed customer who can't wait
to have enough time to sit down and play with the sucker (MacNosy).
