Hovering to get tool-tip style popups showing variable contents is
something I've used for a while but it seems kind of finicky. It
usually takes a while, like a second or two, before the popup is
displayed. That wouldn't be so bad if it always worked, but sometimes
you wait and wait and no popup ever gets displayed at all.

One way to see variable contents when in debug mode is to hover the mouse
over a variable name - a tooltip with its contents appears. Only
discovered that a couple of weeks ago.

So if I see an egregious typo, like:
putt myVar into someOtherVar
then I do what you do.
But you never, really never, had to follow the contents of a variable
while stepping through a script? Never mind when debugging due to an error,
but rather just to see if your plan was sound?
I remember in the movie "Amadeus", when Salieri was told by Mozart's wife
that he made no fair copies of his work, and Salieri, crushed, realized he
simply wrote down "the music he heard in his head".

The first time? How, how is that possible? I have never used
"revXMLEndTree". But the debugger?
I was wondering the same thing. How in the world does one program
without the debugger?
Jaw dropped.
Dunno. Managed it for about 39 years without one.
And RR/LC for the last 12 years.
As I said earlier: every time I run a script and it has a problem the
scriptEditor opens up with a jolly yellow blob exactly where the problem
is,
and I "piss about" until it stops doing that.
