Strange debugger behavior

[John Esak]

The debugger did not handle @sk values at that version of filePro...
upgrading to a more current level will fix the problem. That is the only
solution I am aware of for debugging @sk code.

  Subject: Strange debugger behavior


  I'm reasonably new to FP. Working on 4.05.07 DOS ( dont' ask).

  I find that the debugger seems to do things that I don't expect. I have a
series of statements on a @wlf that check the @SK to see if it was an ENTR
or SAVE key and branch off to different routines based on the key stroke and
other combined conditions.

  If I single step thru the code, the first line correctly tests the @SK.
Subsequent lines don't seem to preserve the @SK  correctly, so the test for
a SAVE key does not show as true. I am using the "S" key to single step thru
the code.

  I have used show statements to prove that the first line of code is
correctly testing the @SK.  And I did figure out that the show"@\...."
required a keystroke to clear the message and that entered a new key stroke
into the @SK vlaue. So I quit doing that.

  Does the "S" keystroke used to single step replace the @SK value?

  If I single step thru this code I wind up in different code than I do when
I execute it without the debugger.

  Thanks
