Debugger function that hangs uVision

right over the entry window there is some VERY INTERESTING information

right over the entry window there is some VERY INTERESTING information

Erik,
Thanks for your response. I don't see what you're talking about. (It's probably there, staring me in the face!!) I have clicked on just about everything that I can possibly click on. However, I did just discover that if I put in an invalid number in the entry box, it causes a syntax error in the debug function and breaks the "infinite" loop. Still, uVision should offer a more clear way to exit a condition like this, and yes, with more experience, I shouldn't write debug code that leads to an infinite loop!!

This issue will be corrected in the next MDK version. By entering <ESC> in the getint/getdbl() dialog, you will get out of the while(1) loop thus avoiding looping forever...

I don't see what you're talking about
click on 'reply' (same result as "start a thread" and look up

also, the preview should have told you that your post was unreadable.

"It's probably there, staring me in the face!!"

It certainly is - look at this picture: www.danlhenry.com/.../keil_code.png

Thanks for the note on message formatting, and glad to see that this will be addressed in the next MDK release...
