Vbug?
[1/4] from: ptretter::charter::net at: 31-Oct-2001 9:23
Anyone know what the purpose or intent of Vbug function is and also what the refinement
of 'debug to user-prefs is used for? In general, does anyone know of any undocumented
view debuggin utils.

I guess that user-prefs holds the View Desktop prefs. Setting 'debug to true will tell
the desktop to output debug
messages (just try it). I usually use 'dump-face or 'dump-pane functions to debug my
view scripts.

I think that vbug is the function called when you set debug mode in desktop
preferences. It is called by read-net and read-thru.
I don't know it is undocumented, but try also:
svv/verbose: true
which should (not tested) be like the line command option:
+q Force not quiet (View)
There is also a debug flag in system/view which it is used by
system/view/wake-event, i think for popup face.
There are also the function dump-face and dump-pane. But they are a little
buggy.
