One of the great strengths of Icon, and one of the reasons
I still don't understand why Icon isn't a *very* popular
language, is that it is implemented and supported so well.
(what about PR? Are there any Arizona Marketing Students
that could help?)
A run-time debugger, with a functionality like dbx (text-mode)
would indeed, as Pat writes, be *very* helpful. IMHO it is just
the thing that needs to be added to the Icon system to make it
an irresistable deal for courses in computer languages.
