     The Program Step (P) command executes the current source line if
     the active Source window is in Source mode, or the current
     instruction if the active Source window is in \aAssembly or Mixed
     mode. The current source line or instruction is the one pointed to
     by the CS and IP registers.
 
     Source Mode
 
     In Source mode, if the current source line contains a call,
     CodeView executes the entire function and is ready to execute the
     line after the call. In CVP, other threads run concurrently with
     the current thread (equivalent to the ~*P command).
 
     Assembly/Mixed Mode
 
     In Assembly or Mixed mode, if the current instruction is CALL,
     INT, or REP, CodeView executes the entire procedure, interrupt,
     or repeated string sequence. In CVP, other threads are frozen
     (equivalent to the ~.P command).
