1. Anyone know how to get adb to automagically continue from a
breakpoint, e.g.,
	subroutine+4:b ,5$c;:c
?

2. When I try to have adb read a script at a breakpoint, e.g.,
	subroutine+4:b *(<a6+8)$<script
I expect that '.' would be set to the what my first formal parameter
points to. Guess again - '.' is set to _subroutine+4 !! (Evidence: first
line of script is
	. >8
and <8 didn't have what I expected in it; though executing that same
command from the terminal while at the breakpoint behaved correctly.)

3. Is anyone going to document in the UPM that all numbers to the right
of the command, e.g.,
	arr/10X
are interpreted in DECIMAL?!?

Since I am no longer reading the net often, I would appreciate e-mail
responses (though I will not complain if you also post to the net).
