This is a patch to fix a couple of things in the debugger: 1. losing multiple 'watched' elements because of scalar context 2. the pre- and post- perl and debugger commands were all trashed when given no args Point 2. now behaves like the a, b and w and removes the need for the 'a command without an argument should *never* be a destructive action' comment. Though personally I think it would be good to leave the note in for future reference. BTW: I think these are the last commands that still did this. I placed the old behaviour in the pre590 command set for all you die-hards out there :-) Richard Foley Ciao - shorter than Aufwiedersehen
