couple of minor quibbles about saber2:
1) it is very easy to confuse it to the point where you need to
reload the whole thing. especially when forcing a break via Ctrl-c.
Saber internal (parsing) error (signal 11).

and infinite loop....
2) certain commands seem to be "overridden." For example, for debugging
purposes I often throw the X server into synchronous mode, Saber
seems to cancel this.
3) Saber insists on raising the trace and output windows every time
it draws a character to them, this can kill performance during
debugging runs.

remembering not to ctrl-c saber...
otherwise, it is a godsend.
