Looking for help/guidance on how to use the Freeride debugger.

As a newbie, how do I use it to step through my code, set breakpoints,  
etc.

I need the basics to get started. I mean absolute basics of what to do  
after I click on the debug icon - or perhaps even before I click on the  
icon.

Thanks in advance.

Snoopy

What??? No one can help me???

I know this is not a very sexy topic, but I thought this was the place  
to ask for help.

I just need to learn a little bit on how to use the FreeRIDE debugger.

I am trying to run it on Windows XP system and it just seems to hang.  
SO I don’t know if I am doing something wrong, or if I have to set  
something up before I click on the debugger icon.

Since there are no real docs on this, I thought I should ask for help  
here.

PLEASE help if you can, or point me to an online resource that has some  
specific basic examples on how to use it.

THANKS

Snoopy
