Re: Debugger?

I find it rather easy to get along without a working debugger In AS Studio,
even with complex scripts. Whenever one needs to know about a value just log
it and its there in the run log. If you want it to break, use display
dialog.

I think bringing the debugger to life here would only make sense if it would
offer the possibility to alter script code while the app is running, without
recompiling it.
