Well, I reinstalled WDT and the help now works, and the distributed
debugger is getting much further.

Now the problem is that I can't seem to start the debug server.

I issue the STRDBGSVR command, but it doesn't start.  Curiously, it was
yesterday.  I could tell because I could run the corresponding ENDDBGSVR
command, but today, that just informs me that it's not running.

This seems like it might be the last (hopefully) hurdle.

Thanks for the replies.

Morgan
