111018 - Morris working today...
111019 -
111020 -    1.  debug nnn....................... ref OF 2 QUUV
111022 -  ..
111023 - Morris worked on macro commands today.
111025 -  ..
111026 - He had a problem calling macros within macros.  One problem was
111027 - calling his profile.  The current Medit does this also, but has never
111028 - been a problem, because profile is empty, and so calling it causes no
111029 - harm.
111031 -  ..
111032 - Discussed helpful improvement to call the profile when opening a
111033 - blank file.
111035 -  ..
111036 - After the work session today, further consideration suggests that
111037 - trying to use a default profile may be too complex.  There are many
111038 - many, many situations when a file is opened within a macro or is
111039 - called in a DOS batch file where running a profile is not needed, and
111040 - in some cases might be harmful.
111042 -  ..
111043 - The other problem was that for a macro file x operating on a file y,
111044 - if macro x switches to file z, then commands in x should continue in
111045 - z, rather than in y, as discussed on 090531. ref SDS 29 MF6G
111047 -  ..
111048 - Debug was also improved soemwhat today, per planning on 090531.
111049 - ref SDS 29 OY3H
111051 -  ..
111052 - He changed the debug window to list past 2 commands, and the next 2
111053 - that will execute.
111055 -  ..
111056 - He also added a start and pause button.  However, these do not display
111057 - in the debug window.  He had to leave and so will fix this later.
111059 -  ..
111060 - Testing the latest version of debug created today, shows...
111061 -
111062 -        Discussed enabling setting the size of the characters in the
111063 -        debug window, so they are easier to see.
111064 -
111065 -        When debug opens the window is undersized and does not display
111066 -        the click and stop buttons.
111068 -         ..
111069 -        When a macro opens another file, a new session of debug seems
111070 -        to run, and jumps the debug screen back to the undersized
111071 -        window, despite having just been stretched with the mouse to
111072 -        display the stop and click buttons.
111074 -         ..
111075 -        Actually, each time click is called to execute a command, the
111076 -        debug window reverts back to the initial undersized screen,
111077 -        and has to be stretched for each click to access the click
111078 -        button.
111080 -         ..
111081 -        Good news -- macro commands seem to be executing correctly now
111082 -        in the target file.
111084 -         ..
111085 -        Would be nice to have an "undo" or "back" feature to step back
111086 -        1 command at a time.
111088 -         ..
111089 -        Up command seems to retun "command syntax error."
111090 -
111091 -            Netbeans returned following message...
111092 -
111093 -            line 0:-1 required (...)+ loop did not match anything at
111094 -            input '<EOF>'
111096 -         ..
111097 -        Debug is not stopping on command errors, per above.  The thing
111098 -        needs to stop, like the current program does on errors, unless
111099 -        errormsg has been called.  It needs to stop altogether on
111100 -        command syntax error, but shoule be processing if EOF is
111101 -        encountered, this this tells the code to switch to another op.
