Way to start in the deep end. :) > I started tracing through the code but when i tried to add some > breakpoints and run the code in the debugger i ran into a problem.

With the default setup (which you should have since you’ve wiped everything out), clicking the Dock icon should bring the interface up the same as if you had hit the hotkey. If that doesn’t work, maybe the Application is hung. When you Build and Run or Build and Debug, the stop sign should be lit up. Like it says in the wiki, this should only be a problem if you hide the Dock icon (not default) and only on the first build. If clicking the Dock icon works, maybe something else on your system is using that shortcut? > I'm convinced i'm doing some stupid. Welcome to the club. I feel like a monkey flying the space shuttle with my teeth when I use the debugger, but even I have managed to accomplish a lot with it. It’s a great tool. Also, there’s a dev list you might want to join. [email protected] -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
