%%==Erlang Debugger===================================================
%%
%% Graphical user interface to the Erlang Interpreter.
%% The code for each process is divided into two modules, Name.erl
%% and Name_win.erl, where Name.erl contains the logic and
%% Name_win.erl the GS specific functionality.
%%
%% debugger
%% --------
%% Interface module.
%%
%% dbg_ui_winman
%% -------------
%% Window manager, keeping track of open windows and Debugger
%% processes.
%%
%% dbg_ui_mon, dbg_ui_mon_win
%% --------------------------
%% Monitor window, main window of Debugger, displaying information
%% about interpreted modules and debugged processes.
%%
%% dbg_ui_trace, dbg_ui_trace_win
%% ------------------------------
%% Attach process window, showing the code executed by a debugged
%% process and providing a GUI for stepping, inspecting variables etc.
%%
%% dbg_ui_break, dbg_ui_break_win
%% ------------------------------
%% Help window for creating new breakpoints.
%%
%% dbg_ui_edit, dbg_ui_edit_win
%% --------------------------------------
%% Help window for editing terms, used for setting backtrace size
%% (i.e. how many stack frames to display in the attach process window)
%% and changing variable values.
%%
%% dbg_ui_interpret, dbg_ui_filedialog_win
%% --------------------------------------
%% Help window for selecting modules to interpret.
%%
%% dbg_ui_settings, dbg_ui_filedialog_win
%% --------------------------------------
%% Help window for saving and loading Debugger settings.
%%
%% dbg_ui_view
%% -----------
%% Help window for viewing interpreted modules (uses dbg_ui_trace_win).
%%
%% dbg_ui_win
%% ----------
%% GUI specific functionality used by more than one window type.
