If you understand the MSVC debugger and it supports some sort of scripting, there are files called .gdbinit and .dbxrc which are init files for GDB and dbx respectively that contain scripts that describe Lisp objects to the debugger. Perhaps you can adapt them? That would be hugely helpful in the future. If not, you might try asking Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org>; I would assume he knows enough about the MS debugger to give you some ideas. Paul> OK. I had a go.

Ah, bravo, BRAVO! The patch below shows what went wrong. 2003-03-06 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org&gt; * console.c (get_console_variant): * console.c (Fvalid_console_type_p): * console.c (Fconsole_type): * console.h (console_variant): * device-msw.c: * device.c: Add accidentally omitted msprinter console and data descriptions.
