  Ummmm..... no!  Those weren't messageboxes!  They were..... erm...
BREAKPOINTS!  Yes, that's it, they're just a simplified kind of breakpoint.
A way of getting the control flow to pause when and if it reaches a certain
point in the code.  Yes, that's it.  


  Say.  Why is it that you always see message boxes saying things like
"Fatal unrecoverable error, all data lost - Click 'OK' to continue"?

  Why don't they say "Fatal unrecoverable error, all data lost - Click 'No
way is this OK' to continue?"

    cheers,
