Just a small debug trick.

[Mel Bishop]

I'm sure that I'm the ONLY one that has encountered this problem that NOBODY else has ever run across, however...

Sometimes (read: Frequently) I need to check the value/string contents of a variable. Before, I would just put the (whatever) somplace on a blank space on the screen but that would pretty much screw up the display.

Try this:

SUB debug
    PCOPY 1,2
    CLS
    PRINT;{Whatever you need to print/check}
    WAITKEY$
    PCOPY 2,1
    END SUB

Just put it someplace conventient in your program and change the PRINT statement as needed.

Just to make sure all the lurkers are aware

TRACE

TRACE

the only debugging tool I use. One of the best features ever add to the compilers!!
