Bob, Jim, et al-

Breakpoints are stored by the engine as a line number offset into a
script. If you edit the script after setting a breakpoint, it's up to
the script editor to adjust the breakpoints to accomodate the lines
added or deleted. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. GLX2 has
two types of breakpoints, hard and soft. The soft breakpoints are
always adjusted correctly because they're under our control. The hard
breakpoints are under the control of the IDE. Using the IDE's script
editor you only get the hard breakpoints, and it's up to the script
editor to adjust them accordingly. Sometimes you'll find that
breakpoints are no longer where you think they should be.

Understood.
-1-   If I hit the breakpoint, stop the script, and only add a comment  
to an existing line

  (eg put money into pocket  --idea for future
then compile, none of the breakpoints in the script container work.


SOLUTION
-2-  After reading your post, I did a little more detective work

-a- New Stack, works as expected

-b-A stack that I began building and using 6 years ago with  
version 2.7.2
About 1000 lines of code, but very simple interface {one card, very  
little data in 16 fields, only 6 buttons}


-c-  copying in the stack script to a new stack works as normal.
Looks like a corrupted stack.
I have been working with the same stack on different servers, so all  
versions are derived from the same parent.


At least I now have a path to refurbishing old stacks to get back code  
editing ease, if they need it.

This is a task for this very evening.

This is good... another bit of knowledge about complex projects, and  
it has a good answer!
