Because: Type code Run code.
VB6 goes a step further:
Run Code Type Code
That means that you can set a breakpoint. While the debugger stops you can edit the sourcecode (to some extent) without stopping program execution and let the interpreter run this new code without restarting the program.
Essentially you can code inside the debugger. That gives you the possibilty to fix a bug on the fly since on an exception the debugger stops at the wrong line. Try different possibilities and see the result immediatly in the given context.
That would be an nice feature for python (debugger), because this is true interactive development.
Or is it already there and I missed it?
