For those who don't have BCC, the debugger has one feature that makes the
whole package worth it.  A (text-based) dialog box can be set up to log and/or
break on windows messages, ala Spy.  It traps messages for window handels
as well as procedures, and they're displayed in a human-readable format (for
example: WM_COMMAND 12 12345).

So, imagine being able to fire up the debugger and say:

	1.  Log all MOUSE message sent to hMyWindow
	2.  Log all messages sent to WndProc
	3.  Break whenever hMyWindow recieves a WM_LBUTTONDOWN


Nice!  Much better than trying to run Spy to figure out what's going on.

I like Borland, too, but Codeview has done this all along...
