- ** Yes, Mr. Jinx, but where does it SAY that you can invoke (DEBUG)?

- If you mean where does the MIT Scheme user manual say it, then you are
- relating a well known deficiency of the MIT Scheme documentation. I
- suspect, however, that you are complaining that the error message does
- not tell you that you can invoke the debugger. Well one reason that it
- doesn't say this is that you can ALWAYS invoke the debugger. Perhaps
- new users need to be reminded of this but it would hardly be
- informative to anybody else.
