mista steve -

Thanx for the tip, I didn't know that cmd line param for appletviewer, was
trying to use jdb on its own with my classes.
Still a bit of a pain to use, single stepping along....
Would appreciate any more advice + will send some stuff just as soon as I
fix the really embarassing bits!

(favorite sourcecode comment:
        // this is wrong, but always by the same amount, so I just add a
bit... :-)

Some quick q's:
does jdb always connect so it can authenticate something (noticed this with
the Borland thing) or is this just so network calls don't have extra
problems? ie if I'm just debuggin graphics, can this be done offline?

When I try 'list' it says 'current thread not suspended'
So I type 'suspend' and get "All (non-system) threads suspended"
But I still can't list   x-(

Can you think of anyway to have some code that would allow me to throw up a
dialog box, and automatically set a breakpoint? eg if I'm running the app
within the debugger, and something happens, it would auto go into 'step' mode...
