Hi Alice and list, Alex, it is actually C (C on QT as well) command. In computer science, debugging is a way to find out what's going on during software execution to "debug" i.e. find bugs and find ways to fix it. In other words, it is a way to find out why some bugs occur while a program is running by displaying sme technical information about this program while it runs. A display that is used to display this information is called a debugger. In KeySoft/Windows CE environment, this debugger displays, among other things, the amount of rAM, the address where the programming of Flash i.e. burning KeySoft bin image onto ROM occurs e.g. 0x00010001, processor type, width of Flash and so forth. If you want it, I can email you a sample debug log where I attempt to find out what's going on with my network card problem. This log file also contains mssages that is displayed while upgrading KeySoft. Also, this file lists options that are not available to users, such as RAM test and entering console which are only available for KS programmers. Cheers, Joseph
