Any free tools or great debuggers for beginners to download ?


Roger, if you happen to have microsoft office installed (ofc2k
or later), you might consider "Microsoft Script Editor" (mse.exe).

It is a very capable editor, with syntax colorization, "hinting"
(a.k.a. "intellisense"), and debugging.

However, it was designed to work with office and doesn't work
quite right for standalone scripts, right "out-of-the-box".
Certain adjustments have to be made.

The good news is that all these adjustments have already been
documented here, in previous postings. Go to google adv group
search:

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

and search this ng for "mse.exe".

Note that there is a debugger available for downloading from
the microsoft scripting site, but that has received negative
comments here, and mse works better.

cheers, jw
