[Dltk-dev] stop current script (and not the complete process)

Hi,

we got complains from many developers using our new eclipse based RAD/IDE that the stop button
works differently then what they are used too :)

in our old environment the designer/debugger and the client where one thing so the stop button didnt
kill the client but it was more script based and killed the execution of the current running script (and the complete stack)

The client then still was working fine and a next button click would trigger another or the same (modified) script again in the rhino js engine.

Now the big shock to them is that when they press that red square stop button there complete debug session and the client is gone :)

I dont want to really change that behavior, i could patch the stop command for us that it does what it did before but i dont like that to much
Because first i still think that the debug process in eclipse is killed anyway and it is default eclipse behavior that i dont want to change.

So i want to introduce another kind of stop button in the debugger view, that stops the current script
the problem is that the DBGP protocol doesnt have such a command so what can i send to the client?
Maybe i could introduce for us a completely new command on the eclipse and client side and use that but are there other
script implementations that uses really an embedded engine that just want to terminate the current running script instead of the complete application
that has the embedded engine in it?
So would this be something for the core (not visible for all but only who wants to have that extra button) and have an extra command in the DBGP protocol?
