Using SoftBench Debugger Window Areas

	Using SoftBench Debugger Window Areas
	SoftBench Debugger provides an easy-to-use windowed interface to an
	underlying debugger. (See Figure 7-1.) SoftBench Debugger allows you to
	debug your programs without in-depth knowledge of the underlying
	debugger. The window shows the current program being debugged, the
	source code being debugged, debugger and program I/O, and other useful
	information.
