Mathematica Debugging

Does anyone have the faintest idea how the debugger works in Mathematica 7?I have worked with (what I think are) similar debugging tools in VBA and MATLAB. But how the M7 one works is beyond me.Thanks,Hemingway

I suppose you need to buy their Workbench. From their videos I get that Workbench is a pretty standard IDE, but I didn't buy it myself. Otherwise, you debug Mathematica programs just like any other programs where you don't have a debugger: lots of print statements, and commenting out large parts of the code. It's pretty annoying, I have to admit, but what else can you do? Best,V.

Print " I AM HERE" Truly lackluster mathematica truly lackluster.
