but last I checked, the VLIDE won't pop open to the site of the exception
No but Ctrl-F9 [LastBreak] highlites the break.
Ah, thanks! Never noticed that. It would have come in handy, once upon a time.
A few years ago, I was doing a lot of Lisp programming, but now it's been quite a while since I've even used the VLIDE. I do very little Lisp these days, and have grown to view it as a "macro" language. I find it much easier and faster to write and maintain complex stuff with .NET, especially now that I've started to get a collection of generic utility classes built in C#.
