    Several small functions to dump the internal locals and caller

       A general purpose music/sound function "do_tone(freq,time)" with
    support logic is included. Note - if freq is < 20 , a delay of
    'time' milliseconds occurs. Can only be certified for Desmet C but

    only compiler for BASIC is for DOS 1.1.  This file program will
