How to see internal calculations in EL

["William R Wood" <wr_wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all EL programmers:

I am trying to learn Ez Lang. Bought and read Arthur Putt's book, "Using EL"
(OK but not real good at teaching programming concepts) and all back issues
of TS Express by Bill Brower (TS Express is quite good).  Am now practicing
with all the examples.

But I can;t figure out how to see the internal math of functions/indicators
etc. For example how do you see the changing states of conditions that
switch from true to false or the results of calculations by functions that
contribute to the final result but do not get plotted.  All I see so far are
the final results that get plotted and are thus visible in the Data Window
(I am using TS2k).   But to understand how this stuff works or to debug
procedures that don;t work I would like to see the step by step execution of
the code.  Sort of like how Excel lets you step through macro code and
separately see the result of each component calculation.  Is there anyway to
do this in EL.

Does anybody know of any other books/teaching aids I should get.  I am a
beginner and have no formal education in math or programming so my sources
have to start slow.

Thanks
Bill Wood
