AFAIK almost anything that you can do in code.

You have to prefix commands with a full stop (.) to get most things to work.
Don't know why, but there you are 

IE:

.Str(nSomeNumericField)

Simon,

FYI: the command prefix can be used to indicate a command set
(package) that is to process the command entered. This will
be made configurable in the future, of course.

Hi Till,
if I enter commands like you mentioned while debugging a program I get in
the command output window allways regardless what I input the answer"
blablabla". This was not in the first version (was it 234) at least i did
not see it there, I saw it first after installing the second version of VX
Prerelease. OK, until now I did not complain about because I thought that
this part of the program is still under construction. But now here is no
word of this, so can you please tell me what Im ding wrong?
Thank you
Klemens

Hi Klemens,

actually, I've no explanation for this behaviour. I've checked the
sources of the corresponding module and I've found "BLABLA"
as the default value for a string that is supposed to be overwritten
anyway (programmer's nonsense!).

It seems that communication between the debugger command
package and the IDE itself doesn't work in your case. Could you
do me a favor and check the entries written into the "messages"
tab? You should find an entry for the debugger command package
(vxdbgcmd10.dll) somewhere in-between. Is this being loaded
during IDE start up??

Hi Till,
so there seems to be something wrong with my installation? I thought about
something not ready until now within the IDE so I did not complain about.
Here is the message protocol:

[Hint] : Executing Script (D:\ALASKA\XPPW32\Bin\autoexec.vxs) loaded!
[Hint] : ### Initializing system packages
[Hint] : DIR/CD/RD/MD shell extensions (Command Handler) added
[Hint] : Plugin (VXDOT10) loaded and available
[Hint] : Debugger Command Set (Command Handler) added
[Hint] : Plugin (VXDBGCMD10) loaded and available
[Hint] : IDE Interface Commands (Command Handler) added
[Hint] : Plugin (VXIDECMD10) loaded and available
[Hint] : ### Loading and building Database Engines!
[Hint] : DBFNTX:OK
[Hint] : DBFCDX:OK
[Hint] : FOXCDX:OK
[Hint] : ### Done

Thank you for help.
Klemens
