My point exactly. An important one and one that is not mentioned or even suggested in the doc on the debugger.
You really must load up the debugger just before you start the program (or overlay) that you are debugging.
I don't like your suggestion of stopping the previous program - that means two programs have to be changed and recompiled when only one program is being tested. I have resorted to a simple print and wait at the very top of the program I'm testing. When I have my brain in gear I bracket those statements with conditional compile statements so I easily deactivate them.
However, let me go on record as saying: 1)this should be documented someplace and 2) it is ugly and amateurish.
