When you run code, or choose Stepper > Continue , execution stops if a breakpoint is reached. The Stepper will show the form in the source area with the breakpoint highlighted in yellow.

. Continuing from this point will cause execution to stop just before it calls
+
, and the Stepper will display the arguments that are about to be passed to
+
.
