The Toolbar contains several new icons. The Green Arrow will jump out of the trapped event point . The Red X will cancel the process as always. Single step will execute the next sequential instruction, same a the Return key. The Step Into will follow a child process. Step Return takes you to the next Return statement. There is a red/gray icon you can use to set and remove a trap. F3 can still be used to set and un-set traps as well. The Edit values icon will allow the current field value(s) to be modified. Inspect/Edit will allow you to enter a field and see its contents. View Process Stack will display the current process stack showing the Ap/Ver, Proc Type, Process Name, and invocation share class. Watch Variable allow you enter a field name and Appx will indicate when the contents of that field change.
