<td align="left" valign="top"> <p> Reuse editor when displaying source code
</p></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"> <p> The debugger displays source code in
an editor when stepping through an application. When this option is
on, the debugger will reuse the editor that it opened to display source
from different source files. This prevents the debugger from opening
an excessive number of editors. When this option is off, the debugger
will open a new editor for each source file that needs to be displayed.

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">Activate the workbench when when a breakpoint
is hit</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">This option brings attention to the debugger
when a breakpoint is encountered, by activating the associated window.
The visual result varies from platform to platform. For example, on Windows,
the associated window's title bar will flash.</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">On</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">Activate the debug view when a breakpoint
is hit</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">This option brings attention to the debug
view when a breakpoint is encountered. If the view is already open it
will be activated. If the view is not already open it will be opened automatically.</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">On</td>

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">Skip breakpoints during a 'Run to Line' operation</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">This option controls whether breakpoints are
ignored when performing a 'Run to Line' operation. When the option is
on, the debugger does not suspend at breakpoints encountered when a 'Run
to Line' operation is invoked. When the option is off, breakpoints behave
normally. </td>
