actually, I wrote the GNO assembly macros and the script.asm you were basing
your code from :)

I'll take a look at tonight or tomorrow...

oh yeah, setdebug is built in to the shell, just type 'setdebug' from
gsh to get a list of options to it. It should also be documented in the

in your program, you can let gsh fo the work for you.
