| <H1>The Breakpoint Window</H1> |
| The Breakpoint Window lists all the various breakpoints that exist in the |
| program. It facilitates modifying breakpoints (make them temporary or normal, |
| disabled or enabled) and removing breakpoints. |

| <A NAME="menus_bp"></A>Breakpoint Menu</H2> |
| The Breakpoint Menu operates on the selected breakpoint only. If |
| no breakpoint is selected the menu items will be disabled. The type and |
| state of a breakpoint may be changed by selecting the desired type or state |
| from the menu. |
| <DL> |
| <DT>Normal</DT> |
| <DD>The selected breakpoint is a normal breakpoint</DD> |
| <DT>Temporary</DT> |
| <DD>Indicates that the breakpoint is temporary</DD> |
| <DT>Enabled</DT> |
| <DD>The breakpoint is active and will stop the debugger when it is hit.</DD> |
| <DT>Disabled</DT> |
| <DD>The breakpoint is being ignored. A disabled breakpoint will never get hit.</DD> |
| <DT>Remove</DT> |

| <H2><A NAME="display"></A>Breakpoint Display</H2> |
| The Breakpoint Display is a table of breakpoints. The first column of the |
| table (unlabeled) shows a checkbutton, indicating whether the breakpoint |
| is enabled (checked) or disabled (unchecked). Disabled breakpoints are |
| ignored and will not cause the program to stop. |
| <P>To use the Breakpoint Menu or the Breakpoint Pop-up Menu, first use |
| the left mouse button to select a breakpoint from the list, then make the |
| menu selection. |
| |
| <H4>Modifying Breakpoints</H4> |
| To <A NAME="display_state"></A>enable a breakpoint, simply click the |
| checkbutton in the first column of the desired breakpoint so that it is |
| selected (checked). To disable a breakpoint, "uncheck" the checkbutton. |
| <P>To change a breakpoint's <A NAME="display_temp"></A>type, select |
| the desired type from either the Breakpoint Menu or the Breakpoint Pop-up |
| Menu. |
| <P>To remove a <A NAME="display_remove"></A>breakpoint, use the left |
| mouse button to select the breakpoint to remove and use either the Breakpoint |
| Menu or the Breakpoint Pop-up Menu to select "remove". To re-install a |
| breakpoint, use the <A HREF="source.html#setting_a_breakpoint">Source Window |
| Display</A>. |
| |
| <H4><A NAME="display_popup"></A>Breakpoint Pop-up Menu</H4> |
| The Breakpoint Pop-up Menu is accessed by using the mouse cursor to select |
| a breakpoint from the Breakpoint Display and then clicking the right button |
| on the mouse. The Pop-up allows expert users quicker access to the functions |
| of the Breakpoint Menu: |

| <DT>Temporary</DT> |

| <DT>Enabled</DT> |
