This depends on the languages used to write your program. In C@t{++} for instance, class constructors are executed before @code{main} is called. It is therefore possible that the debugger stops before reaching the main procedure. However, the temporary breakpoint will remain to halt execution. I don't think 'class constructors' is right here. It's more like 'constructors for static and global objects'. Other than that, the new doco looks great to me. Michael C
