Figure 11.1 Debugger tool

The debugger tool has two areas, and a toolbar. These are described below. If you invoke the debugger tool by clicking Debug or Debug Snapshot in a notifier window, the tool also contains a listener pane. This provides you with a useful way of evaluating Common Lisp forms interactively in the context of the error.
