I have copied most of the information from
https://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx013.htm to
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/Foreigns#m13 with very little
added.

IMHO debugging in J is not the happy reassuring experience it could be. Any
newbie who consults NuVoc looking for debug enlightenment is all set to
spend a distressing two hours.
Is that just my lack of familiarity with the geewhiz stuff that's there?
Because I only resort to (13!:) and the debugger When All Else Fails.
Then I go straight to https://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx013.htm
which for me is the most helpful page in the whole of J Help.
It's a tall order to improve on it. If NuVoc is going to get an ancillary
page on Debugging, it could do worse than link dx013 and leave it at that.
Actually I do have a small improvement on dx013 to offer. For my own use
I've replaced every 13!:* reference with the corresponding stdlib cover
verb. I attach the resulting doctored webpage as a .webarchive, hoping it
won't get stripped off.
If it does, then PM me for a copy.

I have ported debug_verbs.htm over as Debug/Verbs, and included it in
the debug navigator.
Someone (probably me) should go in and "merge" the two tables of
contents on the page. (In other words, add the __NOTOC__ keyword to
disable the wiki generated table after replicating its functionality
in the table with descriptive comments a short distance down on the
page.)

This should be a new child page of https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Debug
.

That's pretty good. It needs to be referred to from the NuVoc
ancillary
pages.
It seems to be about the graphical debugger. Some users, as I
understand, use debug commands from the keyboard. Some documentation
for them would be wolcome.
