No, I don't miss them. They contained so few of the available commands 
and functions that I didn't find them useful at all. I never used them.

Right, but that's the way it has to work now that the editor and the 
debugger are in the same window. I like it, but I suppose that is 
because of my HyperCard background where the debugger works the same 
way. I find it convenient to be able to insert a breakpoint in a script 
and then run my stack normally. The debugger will open automatically 
whenever it hits the breakpoint. I like that.
