debugger

[Gunilla Arendt]

Hi Lyn,

You can ignore the error message. When you have selected Modules->
Interpret, check the Modules menu again. cothink should now be
visible there.

However, I recommend you to fetch the R8B-1 release of OTP instead.
This release contains a new and much improved version of Debugger.
