Tja that's the problem with Unix - minimal service
and no inteligence providet :) To support a solution
like above, The OS must be aware of the user at all
time and special keycodes have to be reserved for
the OS. Personaly I also prefere more inteligent
OSes - BS2000 for example offers the same functionality.
Press the K2 key and the programm is interupted and
the OS prompt comes up - get information, even start
orther tasks - use any OS command needed (maybe without
loading a new programm into your task, since this will
destroy the old :). And because the debugger is just a
set of OS commands, you're free to poke around ...
Sigh. Brave old world :)
