Yes, the Enter key works fine. I agree that the down-arrow MUST shut down de trace during any subroutine execution but not inside the calling line. I don't understand why, in my program (with trace): > > ... > > trace(1) > > x = "x is visible in the trace window" > > y = "y is visible in the trace window" > > a = "a is visible in the trace window" > > b = "b is visible in the trace window" > > c = "impossible to see this string in the trace window" > > -- using the down-arrow during the trace > > ... - the variables x, y, a, and b ARE displayed in the trace window. - the variable c (outside any subroutine call) is NOT displayed. I suggest that, may be, you should turn back the trace on automaticaly a little bit earlier in the process of tracing espacially when the trace-display-cursor is at the end of the (25th line of the) trace-screen ... I don't know...

I agree : the ? command works fine in any case. Thank you for your fast answer! Regards Gilbert lemaitre (Email : lemaitre at adfi.ucl.ac.be)
