I'm using the web interface for the mailing list, so I didn't get the 
attachment, but I assume your referring to the trace facility.

I'm pretty sure Rob had mentioned adding support for tracking
slices of sequence variables to the trace facility for v2.3, but for 
some reason he didn't do it.

We would then be able to specify a slice of a sequence that we want to 
see the contents of. This would solve what you are talking about.

Something that HASN'T been mentioned before, is auto tracking a 
specified variable. Quite often, I trace a program specifically to see 
how a specific variable is being assigned. Currently, when you stepp 
through a program with the trace facility, each variable that is 
assigned a value, displays at the bottom, replacing the variable that 
I'm actually trying to track, meaning I then have to type '? 
variable_name' again. That's every four assignments, if the desired 
variable doesn't get assigned within those four. Or if you skip a 
routine that assigns to the desired variable.

I don't think we'll be seeing a windows based trace facility shipped 
with EU anytime soon. (Didn't someone make one though?)
That would mean yet another branch of EU that RDS needs to implement, 
test, and support.
