  The 6.1 version of MacsBug I have refers to Discipline in its on-line
help.  I've always assumed in was TMON's it was referring to (which doesn't
really make sense since why would I be in Macsbug anyhow).  If such a
facility existed as a MacsBug accessory, that would be great.

  For those of us who aren't ADPA members, would somebody care to inform us
what  "RAMDump" and "ReAnimator" are?

  While I'm at it, it would be really nice to be able to execute
MacsBug's heap checking under program control, as a diagnostic.  There
are certain points where I may suspect my program's operation, but I don't want
to run with heap checking on all the time 'cause it's just too slow for
nowmal operation.  Too bad there's no way to find MacsBug internal routine
addresses.
