Thanks Bob, I do use that method all the time. Let me restate my situation
better.

As my code gets ever more complex, with functions calling functions and
virtual bars and array values and on and on... I'm trying to use an "input"
of some kind to "pause" the execution wherever I want, so I can better
isolate sub-loops etc. within the execution of a particular bar or set of
bars. Then I can use normal print statement type debuggers, without dumping
the entire file out.

I had merely recalled a question raised by someone who wanted to input
values by clicking on particular bars on a chart. And I thought that with
this method of inputting, if it could perhaps "mark" a bar or something
similar, could better isolate the sections I want to examine.

Then again, perhaps I'm asking too much from TS... or I'm making a mountain
out of a molehill?

Best regards,

Gene Pope
