Hello Toni,

for debugging i sometimes print out the address of a function, Press Shift-F12 for debugger, set a breakpoint to the printed address and continue with g.

What do you think, is it a good idea to have some kind of API for the debugger?
So you could set the breakpoint from within the running Amiga-Program?
Also it will be good to have a function to clear the breakpoint before the program exits, because the next time this old breakpoint may be "stalled".

I think of using the uae.resource like a library with LVOs so one can check if running under WinUAE to use these functions only in this case.

Cheers and keep up that marvellous work!
