Figure 3. The Options Dialog

The Options dialog allows you to change the following settings:


Auto configuration save
    When this option is on, the debugger automatically saves its
    configuration upon exit.

Warning Bell
    When this option is on, the debugger will beep when a warning or error
    is issued.

Implicit Invoke
    If this option is on, the debugger will treat an unknown command as the
    name of a command file and automatically try to invoke it.  If this
    option is off, you must use the invoke command to invoke a command file.

    Under QNX, a conflict is possible when Invoke is on.  A path specified
    for a command file name is confused with the short form of the DO
    command (/).  A similar problem occurs under DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x,
    Windows NT, or Windows 95 when a drive specifier forms part of the file
    name.

Recursion Check
    Use this option to control the way tracing over recursive function calls
    is handled.  When this option is on, and you trace over a function call,
    the debugger will not stop if the function executes recursively.

Screen flip on execution
    Use this option to control whether the debugger automatically flips the
    display to the application's screen upon execution.  Leave this option
    on if you are using the character mode debugger to debug a Windows 3.x
    application.

Ignore case
    This option controls whether or not case is ignored or respected when
    the debugger is searching for a string.

Default Radix
    Use this option to define the default radix used by the debugger.  The
    debugger associates a radix with each action automatically.  For
    example, if you are asked to enter an address, the debugger assumes base
    16.  If you double click on a decimal value, you will be prompted for a
    decimal replacement value but there are occasions when the debugger must
    use the default radix.  If you add an arbitrary expression to the
    Watches window, the default radix is used when interpreting that
    expression.  You can specify any radix between 2 and 36.

Double click mS
    This option sets the amount of time in milliseconds allowed between two
    clicks for the debugger to accept it as a double click.  Enter a larger
    value if you are having trouble with double clicks.
