Hi, Al.

If you are using Windows, then download Matt's ooeu (Object-Oriented Euphoria)
http://wxeuphoria.sourceforge.net/apps.htm and install it in your path (I put the
executable and dlls into my Euphoria\bin directory). Take any relatively simple
Euphoria program (or not so simple) and add with trace and trace(1) somewhere in
your code.

At the command prompt type:
oexw myprog.ex

And check out his trace screen. Instead of being text-based, it is window-based.
Much easier to read. I've only checked it out a little bit but I still think that
it's very cool.

If you've added more debug features, that has the potential to be even cooler.

It has nothing to do with Linux, except for the fact that there is a Linux
version.
