What followed was a BINHEX of a MACWRITE file, containing example source
for MPW ASSEMBLER, LINKER, and RMAKER, showing how to make said FKEY.
Then, I assume, you would install it in your system file using ResEdit.
The entire posting was about 7 kilobytes.  I am not about to say that this
posting is "ohyyfuvg!", but I can achieve the same effect as follows:

Open ResEdit.
Open the system file.
Create a new FKEY, type "A9FF4E75" in the edit window.
Close the FKEY, do a "Get Info" on it.
Change the ID number to one of [0-9].
Close the system file, saving it.

The debugger FKEY is ready to use, now.  The TechNote example is rather
like driving in a thumb tack with an eight pound sledgehammer, when your
thumb will do the job nicely, thank you.  I wish Apple would distribute
these things in TEXT format, so we can preview them.

Perhaps next we will see an "ExitToShell" FKEY written in object Pascal?
