Off the cusp idea -- what about just making "breakpoints" completely visual in tRev? Perhaps use an image with an arrow and some sort of useful icon? That way you'd maintain the use of actual breakpoints for all of the reasons you outlined, but just give the user something tRev- specific to look at.

Hey, Dick! Good to hear from you.

I would need to deal with the whole name space thing...if some other program used checkpoint, etc.

Using "breakpoint" has two sizeable advantages over alternatives (now that I'm really considering your suggestion):

1. I don't have to worry about another program using it.

2. It has a use when tRev is not in use. E.g., when you give someone else your code and they don't have tRev (because of a religious injunction or something).

Great idea, though. I'll play around with it some. Thanks.

Best,

Hi, Jerry.  Could you proceed without Rev's traceback message?

on mouseUp
 put 1 into t1
 put 2 into t2
 checkPoint
end mouseUp

command checkPoint
 set the debugcontext to line -2 of the executioncontexts
 global gREVVariableWatcherValue
 debugdo "revDebuggerGrabValue the variableNames"
repeat for each item tVariableName in line 2 of gREVVariableWatcherValue
   debugdo "revDebuggerGrabValue" && tVariableName
   put gREVVariableWatcherValue into tVariables[tVariableName]
 end repeat
 set the debugcontext to empty
 -- ... "store the full context into a database"

 breakpoint -- just so you can see tVariables[]
end checkPoint
