Ok, I hope I'm not misunderstanding you. You go to http://www.mmm-experts.com/Downloads.aspx and you download PyScripter (windows installer). Then you run the downloaded file (that would be PyScripter-setup.exe) and that will install PyScripter in your machine. You run PyScripter, click the "open" button or menu File/Open... and choose the program you want to debug. It will be opened in an edit window in your PyScripter main window. Then you click on "Step into subroutine" button or just press <F7> and you'll be in the first line of your program. From then on you keep clicking "Step into subroutine" (<F7>) or "Step over next function call" (<F8>) or "Step out of the current subroutine" or "Run to cursor" as you see fit. You can add breakpoints just by clicking to the left of the line numbers or the appropriate button. You can watch what's going on in your program in the lower partition of your main window where you have a "Call Stack" tab and also "Variables", "Watches", "Breakpoints", "Output" and "Messages" tabs. >From then on you are on your own.
