RE: tracing in a 50x80 window using NT4

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):

- 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!
