Debugging tools

[Jim O'Leary]

Yes, I have already set the script frame height to 100. This does show custom
debug and auto generated error messages for code that runs in the script
frame. However, in the example that I cited, there is no error message. The
application continues to run, and does not tell me where my application
fails.
