Hi,

I think what you are looking for is "*print(1/0)*" -- This way, you can
load up all your variables in a session have them in the computer memory
and break the script wherever you want. What this does, in particular,
is to cause a fatal statement. But dont worry, no harm is done and you
have a pretty neat work around.

Maybe Adams or Mary can find a way to use this as a breakpoint
function(or something related) for NCL

Yemi.
