debugging script scripts with Project Builder/Applescript Studio

Hi,

I've been developing a moderately complex script (which makes use of some
other scripts) using Smile (a good applescript editor -
www.satimage-software.com). Until now, debuggin wasn't too problematic as
the script wasn't that complex. However, recently the use of dialog
boxes/logging to a file has become impractical - errors could have occurred
in various files.

I'd like to import all my scripts into Applescript studio and use the
Project Builder IDE to walkthru the code, with breakpoints etc. How can I
do this? I set up an empty project, added my scripts to the project, even
created a target, but I can't work out how to run & debug my top-level
applescript.

Is this sort of thing possible/recommended in AppleScript Studio/Project
Builder? Anybody know how I can do it?

Note that I don't want to build this as an application, I just want to use
Project Builder's debugging interface. I was hoping that project builder's
IDE would also prove useful in helping me manage the source files etc, but
the main requirement is to be able to walk thru the code as it executes.

If anybody has any recommendations of how to achieve this with PB, or even
any other software/IDE that would help me, I'd be very appreciative. Surely
someone has done this before - is there that large a gap between simple
script editor scripts & applescript applications?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Rua HM.
