Step outer function call

[William K. Foster]

Hi,

I don't know much about the debug formats, but it seems to me that since 
the debugger knows what line number it is on in the source code, it 
should be able to locate the last function call on that line number and 
enter it for this hypothetical command that many people seem to want.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.
