Thanks for helping us debug the FAQ. :) LOL! OK I think we made it... There was that nagging question in the terminal after "Quit" : "There is a running debug process are you sure you want to kill it?..." I elected to choose "Yes" if I failed that test too, just flunk me and I'll go for another session... Here are the files, for good measure I added the Terminal session although it looks similar to what you have in the gdb... Cheers! Denis
