RE: A pain to compile from code editor?

When I do use it, I use it in interactive mode and most times the program
being debugged is a direct call to the program.  The way that I start the
debugger is through the CODE 400 editor.  I make sure I get a clean compile
and then hit the debug button on the menu bar at the top of the editor, not
through the menu options.  Most times my program will start up in the
debugging environment automatically.  If I try to get it going other ways
then my results are not as reliable.  I liked the older version they had of
the debugger.  It was faster and had mouse support for scrolling in the
windows.  This debugger is still being used in the VARPG editor.  Just my
two cents worth.
