A couple of other things to be aware of:
If you're debugging a program using SEP and it calls another program, debug automatically starts for the called program of you step into it or if there's an active breakpoint set in it, regardless of whether you have a SEP set for it.
Breakpoints are persistent - they don't go away until you delete them. Removing the SEP and closing RDi doesn't delete them.
Familiarize yourself with using Step Over and Step Return when you have called programs and procedures that you don't need to debug.

RDi is the whole enchilada - the name encompasses all of the parts that
come from IBM. Since it's based on Eclipse, there is some Eclipse
terminology that might help communicate among ourselves.
The arrangement of all of the various panes in the window is called a
Perspective. The 'normal' Perspective is called the Remote System
Explorer Perspective. You can change Perspectives by way of Window >
Open Perspective.
Inside a Perspective are various Views. The Remote System Explorer
Perspective has a Remote Systems View (which has our connections and
member filters), an LPEX Editor View (which has our open editor tabs)
and other Views which I'm not going to waste your time listing. If you
can't see a particular View, Window > Show View > Other (usually) > IBM
i and then choose the one you'd like to put into your open Perspective.
You can always x it out if you don't want to see it anymore.
Most people say RSE when they mean the Remote Systems view. Saves
typing. LPEX is the editor and SEP is the IBM i Service Entry Points View.
I an not sure how to turn debug on and off properly.
<snip>
In the SEP View, there is a list of programs for which you have Debug
enabled. Right click and remove the program from the list. You don't
need to end RDi.
If you recompile a program and want to test it in debug one more time,
right click it in the SEP View and choose Refresh.
