This is basically the standard 4 port debugger, but like Quntus' debugger, if the clause is too large (has subterms which are nested too deeply or has too many arguments), it is not displayed fully, so the structures would not occupied many lines. In addition, SICStus allows you to "navigate" around the structures, i.e. you can request the display of subterms you are interested in. This seem to provide what I think you want, but without the nice window interface, and staying within the box model. I certainly found it extremely useful, but I am biased (:-)), as I proposed this feature for SICStus. --Kish Shen (ksh@cl.cam.ac.uk)
