When a part of a script that needs debugging is at the end of a script,
behind a lot of repeats and other loops, it will take forever before we
arrive at that problematic spot. "Trace" sometimes helps a bit; it is better
than hitting a step-button 1000 times. But when you don't know when a loop
ends, it is difficult to remain focused such a long time.

Sometimes it is not even possible to debug something. Some scripts don't
show in the handler list of the debug window. Speaking about debugging.

These moments are the only moments I long back to good old HyperCard again.
In HC I just could mark any line, and as soon as the line is reached, the
debug mode was there. It is probably more difficult to implement that the
same way, because Transcript is compiled while HyperTalk isn't.

Maybe I miss a lot of the functionality of the debugger because I miss
documentation about it. Jeanne, hint...
