In V8, the "please wait" dialog should only appear if you try to relaunch before the delay has finished. Starting a fresh debug will never trigger it, just restarting. With V7, it always appeared after you killed your app. The fundamental problem is that if we talk to POSE over the debug port before the emulated device has stabilized, we really hose up the debugger connection, and we can't recover without killing the emulator. Also, remember that a reset can take a lot longer on a Pentium 150MHz box than on a Athlon XP 2200. As I've mentioned, one thing we're considering is supporting a "kill- means-reload" feature, where killing the session would reload your PSF file, giving instant reboot. This isn't perfect, especially if you're using HostFS and you have to do a reset after load to get that setup right. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Get help at http://palmoswerks.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
