Observations:
1. could we put the Legend action ("Show Status icons of node and
process"), which puts up a (modal) dialog with all the icons and their
meanings, on the debug perspective too? I find myself referring it to a 
lot while i am learning what all the icons mean.
 Could we provide the option of "gluing down" the legends icons  display
somehow, say in a view? so i can leave it up for referring to, until i
learn them by heart. :-)
      perhaps the "PTP training wheels" mode.   Or, make the dialog
non-modal, and i can keep it around, but less elegant.



Can you open an enhancement bug on this?



2.  OK before I found the "jobs" or "job process" view that shows the
output of a particular process? Now I can't find it.
I want to see output from stepping in one process set somewhere, and 
can't seem to find how to do it.
      Maybe if I would go back and read the help I wrote...
If you double click on a process that is shown in the "process info" window of the "machines view", you will get the "process view" which includes the stdout. Currently there's no way to get to this view from the debug perspective. 



3. There are two views that i keep getting confused.  "Jobs" View, and
"Parallel Debug" view.
I think they are the same? Did one come from PTP runtime, and another from 
PTP debug?



Yes, they are effectively the same view.
When you double clicked process icon in Parallel Debug View, it will register this process into Debug View and then you can see the debug info of this process. While you double clicked process icon in Job View, it will show "process view". In the Job View, you can see the job whether it is running in run or debug mode distinguished by icons. You can stop the run mode job only and cannot control the debug mode job, but you can get full of control for debug job in Parallel Debug View. 



4. OK, i see a new breakpoint icon. a yellow one.
      Green: breakpoint set on current process set
      Blue: breakpoint set on other process set
Yellow: ?? breakpoint set on other process set - that isn't the root 
process set??   Interesting.  and sounds useful.



I don't know what the yellow breakpoint represents. Clement?
Color of a breakpoint will change to green when it is created in the current set's process. Color of a breakpoint will change to yellow when it does not exist in any of the set's process. Color of a breakpoint will change to blue when it exists in one of the process in the current set but is not created in this set. 



I'm sure I will have more. :-)



Looking forward to it...

Greg
