- It sounds like you are trying to use the debugger accessed from the
- IDE menu bar?
- If so, that's the Windows debugger. You need to open the Turbo
- Debugger for DOS from its icon in the BC45 group to use with your app.
- A bit clumsy, to be sure, but it has worked well for me on several
- occasions.

- Hope this helps.
