Bill, I guess you are using the dev-image of Damien with the OB-Tools
loaded. This package replaces the original debugger with one based on
OmniBrowser.

I never implemented the pre-debug window, because I hate this extra
click that I have to do every single time I get a debugger. Also I
observed that it encourages beginners to just close the debugger and
look for the code in the normal browser, instead of fixing the problem
right away.

The pre-debug window could certainly be added, but I don't see any
benefit in doing so. In my opinion the pre-debugger is a remnant of
Smalltalk-80, where there was no full debugger yet.
