How Do I...
You'll see a Script Debugger window if you run flawed code.
You can also open the debugger from a Composition Editor if you have a
connection in your application. Select Debug from the
Options menu. The Connection Trace Log displays, followed by
the Debugger.
The debugger looks like the following:

Its five panes contain the following:
- error message (upper left)
- Shows a message that pinpoints the event that triggered the
debugger.
- message stack (middle left)
- Lists the messages (scripts or methods) that were running when the
debugger opened. Names are in the format:
class>>#script. The most recent message is at the top, and
the first message sent is at the bottom.
- list of variables (upper middle)
- After you select a message from the message stack, it names the object
that received the selected message and any temporary variables of the selected
message. It functions like an Inspector window.
- variable values (upper right)
- Shows the value of a selected variable at the time the error
occurred. It also functions like an Inspector window.
- script (method) description (bottom)
- After you select a message from the message stack, it displays the
script's source code. The expression sent is highlighted.
