From: Joseph Alotta Sent: Friday, June 03, 2016 10:54 AM Thank you. If I am in a loop, and I want to back around, it doesn’t seem to work. For example, my loop is at count := 1. I want to look at count := 3. So I go to the top of the loop and click “run to here” and count should be 2. [Ron Teitelbaum] Yeah I know it. There are two tricks you can use here. First is go to the bottom of the loop and do “run to here”. Then use Through a few times to get back to the top of the method. Anything selected above the execution point even in a loop is the past J. The other trick is to just change count J. It is Smalltalk so just select the count ivar in the debugger on the right bottom windows. Just select count and next to it change the value and accept it. It’s a hack but it works fine J. All the best, Ron Sincerely, Joe. > On Jun 3, 2016, at 9:03 AM, Ron Teitelbaum [via Smalltalk] <[hidden email]> > wrote: > > Hi Joe, > > "run to here" only goes forward not back.
