Note: You can place hard-coded breakpoints into the source code if you include debug.h in that file. Putting a Debugger(); statement anywhere in the code will then cause a breakpoint. Use Ignore Software Breakpoints in the Preferences dialog if you want to run your program without stopping at these breakpoints.
