I gave this another try yesterday with the new release, and it works
really well. The only real problem with it is that it does not detect kep
presses very well. Most keypresses are either missed, or come up multiple
times. Any idea how to get round this?
The debugging feature is great. I haven't really tried to use it very much,
but just being able to interrupt it and find out where the PC is at any
time is really useful.
